The Abaddon Anomaly kicked off last month with the Flash Shard events where the Enlightened won 1 city and the Resistance won 3, going into last weekend in the lead.
There are a few differences with how this series is being scored. Points are awarded in levels for Links and Fields and fields are worth 35% of the opposite team’s score

The weekend kicked off with the first anomaly Asia/Pacific with the enlightened winning all four of the cities by more than double the points each.
In New Taipei City, the Enlightened managed to put up 152 links and 52 fields as well as a covering field over 3 of the measurements
In Bangkok, the Enlightened earned 4 times as many points as the resistance by capturing a majority of the portals and fielding over all four measurements
In Manila, the Enlightened managed to get the resistance down to only 10 points in the final measurement to win the city by more than 4 times the Resistance’s points.
In Sydney, despite their covering field coming down before the first measurement, the Enlightened went on to earn 305 points from links and fields instead of the 150 points they would have won otherwise.
A couple of hours after the first anomaly was completed, it was time for round two and the Resistance made a comeback, winning by more than double the points.
In Hamburg, the Resistance flew ahead claiming top points for almost all measurements for links and fields
Zagreb was tightly contested throughout the day with Resistance coming out on top by only 39 points
The Enlightened took an early lead in Seville which was great enough that the Resistance’s covering field and win of the last two measurements wasn’t enough for them to come back. The Enlightened’s 250 pts for fields is so high it distorted the rest of the graph so it has been cut down.
While the Resistance owned more standard portals than the Enlightened, the ownership by the Enlightened of more volatile portals plus a covering field gave them a dominant end position.
The final anomaly this weekend was hotly contested; the Enlightened won the city points but the first shards this weekend were landed by the Resistance for them to steal the win for this round.
The Resistance control of the Volatile portals wasn’t enough to combat the Enlightened’s points for links created and portals owned.
The Enlightened managed to hold 61 links and 15 fields underneath Resistance fields at Measurements 1 and 3
Although the Enlightened had a field up over 3 of the measurements, the Resistance had control on the ground which took them to their win in Guatemala City
Pittsburgh was a close one with both teams winning 2 measurements each but the Enlightened won the day by 105 points
Both teams were neck and neck on the first measurement of Septicycle 2015.43 but the Enlightened steamed ahead far enough that a Resistance checkpoint with more than 5 billion MU wasn’t enough to beat them.
The Resistance are currently in the lead with the all important Abaddon series points, 9 to 4 however the Enlightened are leading in the cumulative value by a tiny 88 points.
