With 30 STEEM and a number of SBI shares to be won - sign up, engage, and win! 🎁

A small change to the scoring this week. Self-voting no longer gives a scoring penalty, but those in the top 10-20 with a self-vote won't be eligible for any bonus 'no self-vote' STEEM.

Welcome to the Engagement and Curation leagues. How does your engagement on Steem compare against others?

This weeks Post is sponsored by @esteemapp - A mobile and desktop app for Steem.

The Engagement League

This league is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.

Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - including those powering down or dealing in delegations over the past couple of weeks.

I've used some metrics relating to:

Posts (P)
Comments - number of (C)
Number of people spoken to (PS)
Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
Comments - length in characters (C L)
Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
Up-votes to others (V)
Up-votes to different authors (U V)
Self-votes - No minus score but no bonus STEEM potential (S V)

Note: Copy/Paste comments will be excluded!

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner:

@tattoodjay! 🏆

No surprise as @tattoodjay takes first place for the 3rd week in a row! By my reckoning, this is @tattoodjay's fourteenth first place finish, leaving him just 8 wins behind the mighty @janton.

@brittandjosie moves up to 2nd this week and is ever-present in the top ranks :)

And @dswigle again finishes in the top three with an excellent 3rd place this time. Well done guys!

Excellent engagement levels also from @chekohler, @chireerocks, @dreemsteem, @angelro, @wakeupkitty, @johannpiber, and @fitinfun who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.

Those without a self-vote and placed in the top ranks will also receive a little STEEM. These people are: @nickyhavey, @simplymike, @bengy, @mad-runner, @bashadow, @riverflows, @steevc, and @bozz.

Well done everyone!

The Curation League / Rewards based

NOTE: If you have started a power-down or been involved in delegations in/out of your account, you will not appear on this list for 15 days following the activities above. Thanks!

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools, including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
