As it happens, two title contenders meet me in the last two rounds. I am not going to make it easy for them, but my schedule for Sunday and Monday won't allow me any extreme step counts. So most likely I will end the season with two losses, which will push me out of the top 10. That would be a disappointment for me, but I will be the more motivated in the next season.

PS. an enhancement idea for the next season - how about declaring a draw in matches that end with <500 steps difference? Since a tie is awarded only by 1pt for the standings table, the rule will create new dynamics in the game
