Experienced International Ronal Campos (1987) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Villa Nueva and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Liga Metropolitan Player of the Week award for round 8.
The 35-year old had a double-double of 14 points and seventeen rebounds, while his team crushed Dark Knights (#6, 2-5) with 24-point margin 65-41. Villa Nueva is placed at 5th position in Guatemalan Liga Metropolitan. Villa Nueva is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 3-4 record. Campos turned to be Villa Nueva's top player in his first season with the team. Campos has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 14.3ppg), assists (7th best: 2.0apg) and averages solid 2.7spg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Norman Hernandez of Coeindeguasa. Hernandez impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Coeindeguasa was edged by the higher-ranked Forza (#3, 4-2) 67-65. Coeindeguasa are still at the very bottom. 6 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Coeindeguasa managed to get this year. Hernandez is well-known by Coeindeguasa fans and he already established his position as one of team's most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was American Kevin Alvarez (185-G-1995) of Forza (#3). Alvarez scored 19 points. He was a key player of Forza, leading his team to a 67-65 win against the lower-ranked Coeindeguasa (#7, 1-6). Forza needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 2 lost games. The season just started for Alvarez as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.
The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.
The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
