Creativename

creativename is the mathematical mastermind of Board 8. He is credited with the popularization (if not outright invention) of the Extrapolated Statistics (aka x-stats), which now form the basis for any kind of character Contest discussion. He made use of an early version of his x-stats to dominate the latter half of the 2003 Oracle Challenge, then revealed his method afterwards in the Stats and Discussion topic, where they have been put to use ever since.

creative was also the man to bring match updates into the Computer Age, writing a program to automatically track results every 15 minutes beginning with the Spring 2004 Contest. Match updates, SFF-adjusted standings, and many other Contest-related statistics can be found on his website, sc2k5.com.
