The Minnow Power-up League
Every Thursday we will be using SteemSQL database managed by 
Hive account@arcange to gather details on the Owned SP for each person that has entered the league. The current weekly owned SP will be compared to the SP held last week. The person with the highest SP growth for the current week will be on top of the leader board.
There are 4 levels depending on your SP levels. Once you graduate from one, you will be automatically placed on the next. When you graduate from the 4th you will be placed on the Minnow Wall of Fame. As this post could get rather long with the 4 levels, as we grow, we may consider splitting this into different posts on different days.
Level 1
Congratulations to 
Hive account@trincowski being first in the league this week with a massive power up of 173.5 SP. And you have also exceeded 1500 and so graduate from level 1 to level 2 next week. Well Done!
In a close second is 
Hive account@chekohler and third is 
Hive account@scrawly.
Also in the top ten is 
Hive account@mightypanda, 
Hive account@obulunmaz, 
Hive account@aussieninja,
