Ryan matched the record on the first day of the month, equalling the time attained only by Osterland and Bryan Bosshardt. Just two days later, he surpassed them both with a new low of 0:51, making an early bid for PoM. However the enigmatic Karl Jobst returned to the fray with an unexpected untied on Train A, skipping Wouter Jansen's 1:07 completely with a new time of 1:06. Bryan Bosshardt continued the Train blitz by reducing SA to 1:42, and Train master Henrik Norgren completed the set with a 00 untied of 2:10 on the very same day! The Archives SA and 00 records of 0:56 were set all the way back in 2002, and Michael Kirkness matched them both early in the month. Yet the WRs were quickly taken from him as Karl untied both SA and 00 in a matter of days, surely securing his PoM award with a pair of 0:55s. With the barrier broken, Karl's times were quickly matched, and Henrik and Alex Anderson had restored their 300 point status on the level by the end of the month.

Jimmy Bauer posted Depot A 0:26, and Karl hit his sixth WR in a month with the same time a few days later. There were also ties on Caverns A and SA from Patrik Nilsson and Jim Barrett respectively. - Soo Reams The elite total time changes from 1:16:48 to 1:16:42! 10 players set a WR this month There were 26 WRs this month, 6 untied!
