Because I fell that the disparity halfway through round is due to many inactive players sinking their fams to the bottom of the ranks.

1 +-(DARK GIRLS OF THE SITH)-+ (538) (x:27,y:41)  2400 29356615
Great leader, Ori secured lots of spread early in the round to give them access to 8/9 sectors.  I don't know of their skirmish/war activities but with that spread and the nature of SD, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why they have greatest size is due to Ori's spread and Matthang's diplomacy.  By this stage in the round, alliances and pnaps have mostly been established so they can just farm til eor.  Contenders.

Experienced new leader, Porgas D Ace indeed is active and relentlessly clears shares and probably forces his fam to clear shares too, which is how his fam can be so big with ultra-inactive attackers.  Contenders.
3 ...What was that? (551) (x:15,y:4)  1816 25370000
Their leader dragged his fam up the ranks and held a steady spot.  His huge NW most of the round, giant spread, and insane laser traps is probably what scared most people from trying to clear him.  This juggernaut will plow through anyone's core he wants to attack and his activity and self-production, it will be difficult to stop him. Contenders.
4 Pika pika (557) (x:8,y:99)  1466 24943421
Active bankers, active resourcer, active leader.  The ideal fam that should have won the round, but had a rough ephase with many skirmishes.  (I think...) Anyway, Contenders =P.

6 We Want 3000 planets (564) (x:47,y:95)  1316 20451353
Never seen them, never came towards my core, popped out of nowhere from the lower ranks, I know nothing, sorry =P.
7 The Dogs (533) (x:84,y:42)  1345 19467364
This fam should've named themselves the turtles instead of 531, because their yama is restricted to their home core.  No spread, no attacking, infra all day.  All bankers were able to heavily fleet themselves when danger is present, all weaknesses/inactives deleted/killed off, certainly this makes them a tough shell to break.  With only 2 neighbors to deal with, making the right pnaps means access to a lot of systems without having to fight for it, and they certainly have done that so successsfully at one point this fam ranked 1.  Of course, turtling is frowned upon and they are forced to become very active now if they want to hold their spot for the win.  Pretenders.
8 $$$ (535) (x:25,y:22)  1556 18884918
Never fought, never saw, no overlapping spread, I know nothing =P.
9 Moo! (546) (x:16,y:98)  1756 18828788
Like 557, they have active bankers, active attackers, active leader, another ideal fam that fought their way to their position even from the lower ranks.  Probably rough start in ephase too? Contenders.
10 300 (558) (x:69,y:24)  1228 16464123
Small fam most of the round that held their ground and fought hard.  I know nothing else about them =P
11 The Ultimate Showdown (542) (x:47,y:54)  1685 15559020
Dunno
12 DeAtH SqUaD (540) (x:72,y:60)  1737 14876739
Viciously active attackers lead their fam to where they are now, which is planet fat.  If only their bankers can follow suit to log on and protect themselves accordingly then maybe their leader won't be so fat too. Contenders.
13 Religious Wars... (550) (x:79,y:85)  1524 14846733
Experienced leader who fought his way from rank 20s to where he is now.  Had a few dissapointing fam members who deleted on him (i think?) but he dealt with it and moved on.  His core was full of intruders and had a difficult time throughout the round, but now with scores settled he is on the move for targets.  Contenders.
14 start dancing (523) (x:8,y:35)  1143 14461809
I know nothing about this fam, but I see Gjiggy is there, and I can already guess that this guy's attacking ability really helped carry this fam.
15 ~~~~Turtle Turtle~~~~~ (531) (x:52,y:100)  1529 14457027
Don't really know much about this fam except they were all over the rankings.
16 ~ Freedom of the Mind ~ (525) (x:47,y:90)  1084 13173018
Like their allies 560 the window lickers, this fam got kicked off the boards.
17 ~~ Side Bar Options ~~ (556) (x:12,y:5)  1386 13169786
Dont know much about them other than their allies are dam powerful
18 No. 1 (553) (x:15,y:16)  1234 11806101
This fam was actually ranked 1 for awhile, but then next time I checked rankigns they dropped off the face of the earth.  Their top2 guys deleted, I heard, for no apparant reason . How sucky.

"Dunno" is all you can come up with for your old allys fam nme?

i dunno, but i think i am much more experienced then portuges

but i dont blame you nme, your just new 2 , i am moving to my own place so i told the fam i couldnt be on to much , anyway, yes we r good and we will win

#552 - Fattys who need to stop skirmishing with anyone and everyone.

lol We have never been allied to anyone top ten, and we are top ten now.  We don't even have a NAP - worked ourway up from 35th  albeit very slowly.

You guys should start doing these by size instead of my networth, any little fam can stockpile and jump networth to take a high networth ranking.
