Hi all!
Yes that's right, from this week and for at least the next month, The Curation Leagues have sponsorship from the awesome @carlgnash and @paulag. Without this, and the support from yourselves and the likes of @fulltimegeek, @v4vapid, @acidyo, and @anomadsoul, the prize fund would not exist at present due to the more difficult times we are facing.
And so, thank you to all of the above and everyone who visits each week and gives their support, awesome!
To enter the leagues until you say otherwise, drop a comment below!
On your marks, get set, curate!

Introduction
My general views on maximizing curation rewards (to score highly in League 1) are:
Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000
Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split, this value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards
The goal is to get in prior to the big hitters, but not too early!
It is commonly suggested that 15-25 minutes is the 'best' time to vote (especially on known 'power author' posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes)
A vote of equal weight and equal Steem Power at 30 minutes will give more reward than a vote at, for example 1 hour - first come first served, but don't arrive to early :)
Voting on good dtube content and utopian-io approved contributions (prior to the vote by @dtube / @utopian-io ) can earn some very good curation rewards
Voting on @ocd posts is likely to gain good curation rewards as founder @acidyo, and @anomadsoul support these posts after giving time for other accounts to vote - you will be in front of a couple of large votes here!
As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, time of vote, (and more) all play a part in the amount of rewards received.
My general opinion on maximizing engagement (to score highly in League 2) is:
- Spread your vote and write lots of engaging comments!
The data for league 1
The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.
SteemSQL is now a monthly subscription service and so your support in this post is greatly appreciated!
The key formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:
Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000
This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held
The rules (which will cause auto-filtering of your account if not met so just enter anyway and see what happens!) to appear in this league:
Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days
Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 14 days
Must not have Started a Power Down (withdrawal of Steem Power) in the last 15 days
The 2nd and 3rd points above are required to reduce distortion of the figures.
And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a 15 day window as mentioned above.
Don't let this put you off entering though - you will be automatically be excluded/appear depending on the criteria above.
Curating for maximizing returns - League 1
See the rules above if you are missing from this table
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.
This weeks' winners!
Congratulations to @crypto-econom1st! 2nd last week and a storming week this week - With a low SP it is possible to score high, and in time some adjustments (like SP bands - argh more work!) might be needed for prizes. Good job dude!
@mys, last weeks winner who uses the '@utopian-io' approach is a good 2nd and looks like he'll be tough to knock out of the five too :)
Well done to @freyman (new entry), @williamsyee (new entry), and @patay69 who all take the remaining prize spots with an excellent number per SP owned.
Prizes for all of the above!
Community Curation Excellence - League 2
This the newer league which is not based around rewards and relates to engagement.
Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - delegation dealings or not.
I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:
- Posts (P)
- Comments - number of (C)
- Comments - outside of your own blogs (C E)
- Comments - length in characters (C L)
- Witness votes (W)
- Upvotes to others (V)
- Upvotes to different authors (U V)
- Self-votes - a minus score for this one sorry! (S V)
Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you are doing great! Over 100 names don't score more than 1000 with my rather harsh (but fair I think) scoring system.
Congratulations to @gillianpearce who tops the league of engagement and excellence this week! A recent delegatee which has clearly inspired her to do even more this week, well done Gillian! :D
Well done to @davemccoy, @lynncoyle1, @bashadow, @themanwithnoname, @themobilewriter, @abh12345, @beeyou, @goldendawne, @aussieninja, and @blazing who take the remaining prizes positions this week, nice work all!
I am sending at least 1 SBD to the top 10 in the league (excluding myself so well done lucky 11th place!)
Do you want to be a part of the leagues? Let me know below!
(Calculations may vary from week to week but always with a goal to find top community engagers.)
Prizes sent!
Curation League 1
Curation League 2
And new delegations to:
Err, no-one this week!
Everyone in the top 10, bar the ones selling votes to bid-bots, is currently receiving delegated Steem Power from myself, and so I'm saving it this week.
But wait... that works in your favor though! 0 votes to self from moi means more SP for you guys :)
Potentially, repeat high scorers in league 2 could be DSP boosted, lets see.
A quick message to other Dolphins, Orcas, and Whales
Doesn't the league table represent how good delegating even a few hundred SP can be for engagement within the community?
If you haven't already, join me!

Well I am gob smacked to put it bluntly and . . . deeply gratified, because I set out this week, having received a delegation last week, to see what I could do with it if I went full out. So thank you @abh12345 for both the leagues and the delegation, they kept me going when I was beginning to flag!
Big thank you to @carlgnash, @paulag, @fulltimegeek, @v4vapid, @acidyo, and @anomadsoul for their sponsorship and support. We've not yet "met", but rest assured, your involvement has had a big impact on me and my activity on Steemit.
Congratulations to all the other winners and a special mention to @lynnecoyle1 and @themanwithnoname whose paths I seem to frequently cross. 😍
My plan this week was to slow down somewhat as it was so full on last week but now, finding myself in position 1, and being somewhat competitive by nature, I might just have to go full out for it again. 😁

Congratulations on the top spot! We all had that feeling of wanting to take it easy when we reach the top 3 spot but it has the effect of wanting to do more because you see how much good you are doing to the community of Steemit!
Let's do it! Let us be more and welcome more people and make a difference to them! I am so proud to be part of Asher's League of Excellence!

Thank you @maverickinvictus. I think the euphoria has worn off a bit this morning. I need to be careful I don't end up spending all my time on Steemit just to stay at the top. Everything in moderation and all that.
I'm going to take a deep breath, pay attention to what is truly calliing me, and live my day from there. The temptation to chase points was big but now I'm settling back into letting it unfold again. That suits me better.
Have a wonder full week!

Here's the lady of the hour :)
I've left a reply further down but I just want to say again, that I'm happy the league has given you some renewed vigor for Steemit.
It is flipping tough to start and even harder these days, but as I mentioned in yesterday's post, now is a key time to see who's here for the the engagement, or just the money.
I've wondered about people hitting the top and going, 'ah well, that's it I can relax now', but for the most part it's been the exact opposite - I'm glad to hear it could be the same path you are taking too :D
Congratulations once again!
Asher

Thank you Asher. As I said, somewhere else (but not sure where as I'm commenting left right and centre here) I was thinking I'd relax a bit after a full on effort last week but now I'm in the number spot I'm not so sure.
I also meant to ask . . . what is "DSP boosted". Is that another cunningly contrived idea to keep us hooked @abh12345? 😁

#newbieresteemday, yes, I can see that some votes are going on daily basis from my account and I think those and few of my comments here and there have helped me to stay in the top 40 for last couple of weeks, I just need to increase that.

Wow Asher, what another amazing week of competition for "The League" :) Congratulations and I'm so happy for you to see so many people participate!
I would also like to thank the new sponsors @carlgnash and @paulag. You both are doing an amazing thing and really helping to strengthen and grow not only this community, but steemit as a whole! I know @abh12345 has been rejuvenated by your donation, and that is awesome to get him moving even faster to help make this place even better!
Congratulation to @gillianpearce, you did an amazing job and I'm happy to see your effort pay off by you winning! I see you out there all the time and know you are doing well, so its awesome to see it reflected in the scores.
It's great to see all of the other #newbieresteemday teammates of mine in the top 10 too. @lynncoyle1, @bashadow, @themanwithnoname @abh12345 @beeyou and @goldendawne. Congrats and I'm not surprised to see you here! :)
I'm also to see great performances from @maverickinvictus, @amariespeaks, @cryptkeeper17, @coolguy123, @lyndsaybowes, @moneyinfant @plushzilla @gjones! Great job to all of you and thanks for everyone's effort!
Asher this league is really doing some amazing things and once again I want to give you kudos for creating that spark that drives us. I know that I have had conversations with many people about your league, and it is the first thing they think about when it comes to what is important here. Engagement is key and we all intuitively know it. Your league is a fun way to highlight it!
As my good friend @themanwithnoname says, this is the thing I too look forward most on all of steemit! So thank you for hosting it, nurturing it, and being the "King of Engagement" each week! ;)
Finally I hope you are prepared to look at some logos and taglines. @beeyou and I have quite a few collected for your to choose from. I think you will be pleased with the efforts people have made, and you will see in their work how much they "get" what you are doing!
ps... thank you very much for the prize too! That is something that is always awesome for you to do and very much appreciated by me and others! I will be donating it again to @friendsofgondor in your name because I want to do my part to help the terrific @fulltimegeek support his awesome #stewardsofgondor which have helped to shape my path here on steemit. The SOG are my role models, I strive to uphold their teachings everyday! :)

Thank you Dave, you another very pleasant wall of text haha :D (I'd just finished replying and this appeared!)
I do mean it though, thank you for taking the time to respond in the way you do :)
I'm certainly ready to look at some designs and taglines, and I have a guest judge on board too. Could you please ping me over to the post it appears on, Gina will guide me there I hope.
The prize is yours, but I'm happy to see it heading over to the @friendsofgondor, yet another fine initiative.
Lets hope for a resolution to 'this' soon, the falling prices everywhere are enough as it is!

There is so much to say that the wall must be created! lol ...
This is one post of the week that I like to make sure that I remember to make my points. I think it is important and hopefully a few will listen to my big mouth.
I will get you that list by tomorrow, my better half @beeyou is the one that makes sure it is completely correct. And its a good thing too, because I'm prone to make a mistake or two.
And yes I hope the resolution comes soon, but I do think the drop in prices is going to help make it happen. I have been predicting for a great reset if the people at the top don't realize the importance of what @fulltimegeek is doing, and sadly it seems that is what its going to take to make them take notice. Its as old as time itself, hit em where it hurts... in their pockets.

And thanks for helping me realize my potential. All I have done so far to you and others is to utilize the power I have to reward the guys and here and there I tried to interact with you all when I had some time.
Having said that, you are one of the key reasons along with the members of #stewardsofgondor and curation leagues of @abh12345, which gave me an opportunity to write freely and more meaningful comments, otherwise, I am very less expressive outside Steemit.

I have to say when I first saw these tables I thought I didn't stand a chance with @davemccoy at the top. I don't like the sound of you pair stepping up your game. Maybe I should just retire gracefully while I'm ahead! 😁

Ha, ha, ha. I love your faith in me. I'm not so sure myself. Sometimes I am still tempted by the dark side, i.e. bots and self up voting, especially when I see so many people I like, getting ahead that way.
I'm not interested in spending $200 to get on the trending page but I do envy my friends who self upvote to the tune of 0.50 say. It's not a huge amount in reality but psychologically it is.
I'm just curious to see how it all unfolds!

"I thought you said "forgetting" was one of the side effects. I can't remember though."
"Just remember, the first rule about crazy pills is there are no crazy pills."
"Doc, what do you mean there are no crazy pills?"

Yes I'm really glad to see Gillian at the top, she was a little down about things and I think/hope the league has sparked a revival!
We have a good mix of seasoned members and new ones in the leagues each week, and the scores are really close which I think shows how competitive and fun it is.
Thank you and everyone for taking part and making Sunday the highlight of my Steemit week! :D

Thanks @abh12345. The league has definitely sparked a revival. It's great for me because I like to try and beat myself in these games so that incetvises me to comment and upvote more. As a consequence of that I am learning more about upvoting and how to manage it and, most importantly, I am finding new people to have conversations with and deepening my connection to those I've already "met".
Watching numbers go up and connecting with people is what really keeps me going here. I'm not interested in the financial side at this point, I have no idea what my account is worth, but I like to play with numbers and see how I can affect them. From that perspective my main goal is still to get to 500 SP.
But, without the conversations, even the numbers wouldn't be enough.
It's an interesting journey and I'm still working out how I want to play the Steemit game. 😊

This is great news and makes the time spent on the post all worthwhile :)
I'm glad you've made connections here, another really satisfying aspect from my point of view too.
500 SP is certainly the first goal for minnows. I think I bought 150 when I reached 350 as I found out about the Slider at that point, and there weren't any other interfaces at that time.
Well done!

First of all congratulation to everyone who have made it to the top. Your efforts to engage and curate content on this platform will definitely help this platform grow. I am waiting for that one day when the comments and posts here will receive thousands of like & shares ( Upvotes and resteems) like status updates receive on facebook. I hope one day people will comment on steemit to engage with the author. This curation league and engagement league definitely builds a bridge or a path to attain that.
There is a request to all the participants to upvote this post. This will help Asher increase the reward pool for winners. Specially thanks to @carlgnash and @paulag for supporting this contest. Thanks again for being sponsors.
I could see that i am in the sixth position this week. I am feeling happy about it. This is the 2nd time i am in the sixth position. After some bad performance from my side in previous weeks i went all in this week. Participating in the Asher's engagement league is a good way of increasing the number of followers. I got 20 new followers this week alone because of me participating in this league. Who knows you may also get new followers if you participate and improve your performance in the league.

I will be glad if I do see some improvements. For some reason I will try to chase a top spot in League 2, probably cause it more fits my behavior on Steemit.
I'm just bad at the curation game, still will also try to improve my position here. Always ran out to quickly with my voting power!
But you are giving a lot of us a great motivation to be involved on Steemit!

I appreciate the valuable information. However what is more important to me is that you took the time and effort to create the Curation League in order to help others. Of course by raising others up so too are you. THat is a win-win for all and shows the spirit of Steemit we all want to be part of. Blessings.

Greetings @abh12345, I'd like to be added to the tables please...I'm attracted to the way you present the info; that you are doing all the work (thanks :D); that I don't have to alter anything I'm doing anyway; that you seem to be encouraging participation; and that I can enter the 'leagues' in spirit of non-competition. Sound great.
And, since this is the first time I'm speaking to you directly, just to say I've seen you around on various discussions and would like to show my appreciation for the level and pitch of your engagement, which is overall very positive and supportive - great to see :D
Thanks again 🔆

I need to be careful, all my numbers slipped from last week, but will hopefully do a bit better this upcoming week. So if you know anyone that would like a small vote and a comment just direct them to the newbieresteem chat room, and the post promotion dropbox. I even use the browser translate function, and that makes for some funny reading at times.

They are a negative, but not as much as they were previously. You can see @blazing in the top ten with 18 this week.
Self votes don't mean that you aren't engaging as such, but it Voting Power that could be used (perhaps more beneficially) elsewhere. Sorry I can't give the secret formula away, got to make it fair for all :)

I mean get an early vote in on whatever post and then a second larger vote from my second account on the same post after 6 days....?
