THURSDAY, 2PM PST: Here's a special 5-hour update during maintenance. Pace for the Top 50/100/1000 are insane as expected. You can expect numbers to drop a bit throughout the rest of the event until the last 6 hours or so on Sunday where the final numbers generally are higher than the opening pace numbers per previous RCs. We'll see who stay in the race until the end or dropout after running out of RP and/or time. Top 3000 Rookie Star/Star Tier Hakeem most likely can help a great majority of people Top 25 decks, and therefore is one helluva consolation prize for the casual players!

Quick new calculation scenarios that I will only do for Top 1000 (output potential based on average of the masses rather than top output by an individual):
HARDCORE: (76 hrs remaining) x (110 pt/hr top output) = 8,360 + (520 current pts) = 8,880 pts.
NIGHTMARE: (76 hrs remaining) x (125 pt/hr top output) = 9,500 + (520 current pts) = 10,020 pts.
APOLCALYPTIC: (76 hrs remaining) x (150 pt/hr top output) = 11,400 + (520 current pts) = 11,920 pts.

FRIDAY, 5AM PST: Numbers dropped off a bit towards "projected" averages for new brackets from all previously tracked (see RC Log link). Overall, still a bit too early to guesstimate final numbers in the first PO RC, but the numbers will give you ballpark ideas. Biggest decision is if the extra stat spec on Top 1000 foil PO Hakeem is worth the possible RP needed to HS towards qualification... rather than buying a regular PO card from AH. More to come at regular Friday and Saturday night intervals!

Quick new calculation scenarios that I will only do for Top 1000 (output potential based on average of the masses rather than top output by an individual):
HARDCORE: (61 hrs remaining) x (100 pt/hr top output) = 6,100 + (1,249 current pts) = 7,349 pts.
NIGHTMARE: (61 hrs remaining) x (125 pt/hr top output) = 7,625 + (1,249 current pts) = 8,874 pts.
APOLCALYPTIC: (61 hrs remaining) x (150 pt/hr top output) = 9,150 + (1,249 current pts) = 10,399 pts.

SATURDAY, 7AM PST: Numbers remain relatively steady through Saturday morning as usual. Saturday evening/Sunday morning numbers should reflect the low-end projections as we prepare for the usual Sunday Final Hour Onslaught.

Quick new calculation scenarios that I will only do for Top 1000 (output potential based on average of the masses rather than top output by an individual):
HARDCORE: (35 hrs remaining) x (100 pt/hr top output) = 3,500 + (2,757 current pts) = 6,257 pts.
NIGHTMARE: (35 hrs remaining) x (125 pt/hr top output) = 4,375 + (2,757 current pts) = 7,132 pts.
APOLCALYPTIC: (35 hrs remaining) x (150 pt/hr top output) = 5,250 + (2,757 current pts) = 8,007 pts.

SUNDAY, 3AM PST: Slight increase in the top tiers as we prepare for the Sunday finish line rush. Looks like the first 5 hour data is out of place but can serve its purpose as a potential marker for the Sunday finish rush hourly pace. So players are starting and ending in a strong rate in these events. One more update in several hours. Good luck!

Had to adjust the below calculations to reflect more accurate projections.

Quick new calculation scenarios that I will only do for Top 1000 (output potential based on average of the masses rather than top output by an individual):
HARDCORE: (15 hrs remaining) x (60 pt/hr top output) = 900 + (4,160 current pts) = 5,060 pts.
NIGHTMARE: (15 hrs remaining) x (70 pt/hr top output) = 1,050 + (4,160 current pts) = 5,210 pts.
APOLCALYPTIC: (15 hrs remaining) x (85 pt/hr top output) = 1,275 + (4,160 current pts) = 5,435 pts.

SUNDAY, 10AM PST: Last interval update until conclusion. Looks like the Sunday Bum Rush has begun. Good luck!

Had to adjust the below calculations to reflect more accurate projections.

Quick new calculation scenarios that I will only do for Top 1000 (output potential based on average of the masses rather than top output by an individual):
HARDCORE: (8 hrs remaining) x (60 pt/hr top output) = 480 + (4,838 current pts) = 5,318 pts.
NIGHTMARE: (8 hrs remaining) x (70 pt/hr top output) = 560 + (4,838 current pts) = 5,398 pts.
APOLCALYPTIC: (8 hrs remaining) x (85 pt/hr top output) = 680 + (4,838 current pts) = 5,518 pts.

FINAL: With change in RC card reward brackets, team numbers have dropped a bit most likely since the prize after the Top 100 isn't as a big of a pull for the rest of the players. Everything seems to fall in line with general final numbers of previous RCs, and I'm glad I got a major head start before Sunday as I somehow goofed up my own projections for Top 1000. I'll fix my calculations for Top 1000 to reflect more accurate projections. Something is obviously way off that I can't duplicate from previous RCs.
