I am currently way out ahead in my Gold League division, and almost certainly will be promoted to Platinum at the end of October. Will I manage to finish in first place in a Platinum division for the month of November? Anything less resolves No.
Arguments for Yes:
*A commanding first-place standing in both Bronze and Gold shows that I am a consistent user who is optimizing for Leagues.
*Some Platinum divisions turn out pretty easy! There are several that I would already be 1st place in with my current Gold performance.
*I have figured out how to get decent popularity for my own markets sometimes, which makes League performance much steadier.
Arguments for No:
*First place is a high bar! My placement in Gold could be a fluke, and Bronze was trivially easy.
*Some Platinum divisions turn out rather tough! There are some current Plat divisions in which I would be greatly overshadowed by their number 1.
*I have never used an API before, and it seems like that might be part of being a successful power-user.
