Updating Group Leaderboard

I finally figured out how to create a group leaderboard that automatically updates each night, which is below. The pool leaderboard should be current as of each morning, because I have to pull from Fangraphs and they seem to update very late at night. I tripled checked everything, but if you think your number is wrong at any time, I'll look again. The current leader(s) should be in highlighted yellow, and Casey will still give updates each month. Enjoy!

Pool Update

Hey competitors,

Thank you for all your entries into the 2017 Home Run Pool! I just uploaded the last entry (Dave Swietkowski). His picks were emailed on March 31st, but they were lost in my email. That leaves us with 20 entries and a pool of $1000 up for grabs to our winner. If you still haven't gotten your entry fee in, I have Venmo (@CaseyPoundstone), PayPal (bagwell505@yahoo.com), or take good old fashioned cash or check (221 Eyland Avenue Succasunna, NJ 07876). I will be giving standing updates on the 1st of every month. Good luck! May the man with the most power win!
