Kalf falls off the ladder this week, having climbed vigorously from a three-way tie for 454th to a two-way tie for 417th!  That sets up this week's match among two veterans, two artists who have held their own for a couple of weeks, and three new guys who beat them in the main tournament, but may or may not be able to beat them now!
