1. Rahul Ranjan (65.8) is ahead in terms of Average Score against Siddhant Shekhar (61.6), which is one of the most important stats, but then in terms of average victory margin Siddhant is in double digits & comfortably beats Rahul.

*) - Average Score - Rahul Ranjan (+4.2 Points)

*) - Composite Victory Margin - Siddhant Shekhar (+2.95 Points)

2. In terms of variety & quantity Siddhant eliminated 3 authors and Rahul eliminated 4 authors. In few matches against good authors Rahul was not 'the favorite' but he consistently proved others and himself wrong (as he accepted defeat couple of times even before matches results were public). Rahul somehow managed to clear the round and defy odds in big match situations. 

3. Feedback on Siddhant's stories by Judges is slightly better than their feedback on Rahul's stories.

Oops! Again after writing this much the score stands 1.5-1.5 

Guess...who will win the Bronze Medal & finish on podium of inaugural Freelance Talents Championship...
