After the turbulence of period 6, it was much more serene for the majority of teams,
with 80% posting positive growth figures. However, there was still plenty of movement throughout the
league table, with 5 new entries into the top 12, and qualifying places for the Final.
Not surprisingly the two major sponsors, Stantec and Jacobs, are well represented with 2 and 4 teams respectively,
and Stantec in particular will be keen to keep up their momentum as they chase their inaugural success,
but Jacobs will be determined to defend their title, although others could well put a spanner in the works
with AtkinsRealis, Parsons, Hatch, MWH Treatement, Arcadis Autralia Pacific and WSP all represented
in the leading places in what is already shaping up to be a titanic struggle.
The top of the leaderboard has a real international feel, and for the 3rd consecutive round there
are new leaders as "Stan Movers" (Stantec, United States)
climbed 6 places to takeover top spot with 1,538 pts.
Just 8 points back are the "Fanatics" (AtkinsRealis, India),
with "The Mighty Turtles" (Parsons, United States) moving along swimmingly
as they climbed 13 places to 3rd, and looking to repeat the 2021 success of Parsons.
And what a week for the "Martians" (WSP, UK/Canada),
whose impressive 43 place gain catapulted them up to land in 4th.
There is still very little between the leading teams with just 70 points separating the top 12,
and a large group of teams vying to break into the qualifying places for the final.
