148 people selected #02 Tribal Face in race 1

72 people selected #06 Ranger Heartley in race 2

64 people selected #04 Cabo Chico in race 1

51 people selected #05 Barbaric in race 4

17 people selected #09 Coatcheck Girl in race 5

6 people selected #01A Spool's Gold in race 3

6 people selected #01A Spool in race 3

3 people selected #02 Obrigado in race 7

Those numbers can't be right because there are only 231 players left. They have almost certainly counted picks from the 1st 2 races twice. (if you halve the numbers for the 1st two races, the total picks is exactly 231.)

How hard is it to do this right, anyway?

Anyway, I made it past today. It looks like 33 people were knocked out in the 1st race.
