The Lunatic's Record Books

I might continue to add records to the list as I can think of them. An important note is that some of these records I can only track through 2008 (when I moved the pool to the current website on GoDaddy) or 2009 (when I introduced the second chance pool). I will also apologize in advance if I have missed someone in one of these categories - let me know and I will fix it.
