Over the last year, we have had 52 contests and we had 26 different setters winning the weekly contests, 3 more than the 23 in 2018.

Right on top of the leader board is Doc Satyen Nabar who won 11 weekly contests, beating his prior record of 10!

It is also remarkable that the very first 1ACCWC of 2020, 2019 and 2018 have all been won by Doc. Congrats Satyen:)
