I would also like to thank Lindax. Let me know if you do this again!
Regarding the high rate of drop-outs, here are a few ideas to keep people in the game:
Set it up as a rectangle instead of a pyramid. This would give more people a shot at getting to the top tier without being blocked by folks who are already in a game.
Increase the points awarded for the lower tiers. A few weeks on the lowest tiers practically eliminates a player's chances. Maybe the scoring could be something like 12,11,10,9,8,7 rather than 12,10,8,6,4,2.
The huge bonus for being on the top tier at the end adds a big element of luck in what should be, (as far as possible), a skill game. You might consider dropping that bonus. You might also want to add some kind of tie-breaker.

Thank you for your suggestions Nano.
If two (or more) players end up with the same amount of points, there obviously will be a tie-breaker

Just a few fun facts:

- AAFitz and danryan played the most game: 60 each
- Nanogram played 39 and won 24, which is well over 50%
- Kid Moe had the most losses: 34 (sorry mate)
- Djt5483 only played 3 games = one challenge
- Lindax has the most active games still going on: 4
