Yeah, I think I'm level ahead of you, and I'm not sure how the profits were divided last year but I don't remember being impressed.
I'm at lvl5 now and most of the opposition are lvl6 and 7, I think there was one other lvl5 in the preliminaries but I haven't checked if they progressed as well. The *-average seems to be around 39*..

Good luck tonight! I got another lvl7 opponent tonight, in just about an hour, but they look beatable!
