Boasters League round
4~~
Yep. Winky-Dinks have taken over. The 8 point lead on the standings
isn’t huge when you look to the Space
Geckos, but the fact they are now 17 points
ahead of third placed Fire Birds is.
Fire Birds were only 3 points off both of the top 2 teams last week. Once
again, playing matches pays off. Who would have thought? The Winky-Dinks played against the Space Geckos last night and they
completed 11 matches. That’s 3 matches more than the next best. Additionally, they
picked up 10 points in makeup matches over the week, giving them a league best
39 point boost.
Bonus point wise, the Space
Geckos came out on top for week 4 with 14, Mongoose and Wardogs
both picked up 12, and Foss Nation
let themselves down with only 7. So far, the Space Geckos are way ahead on bonus points than anyone else, a
major reason they are in second place.
The last 2 teams on the standings – Foss Nation and Paddy’s
Dropshots – seem to be content to stay there. They played each other yesterday
– or were supposed to – but only 6 matches have been done so far, they ranked
last and second last in bonus points for the round, and did not play many
makeup matches either, hence they picked up the lowest totals for the week.
Individual highlights for the evening… Joey Gaylord’s (Space Geckos)
scrambling from the low front corners to the high back ones paid off as he
managed to overcome Jerry-the-Rock-Lobster
(Winky-Dinks) 2-1; John Hanley (Wardogs) had his work cut out but was still able to hold off Ashley Thibodeau (Fire Birds) who put up a great resistance, 2-1. Han Peng (Butter Nutz) continues his picture of consistency with his 3rd
consecutive 2-1 victory, this one over Jim
Miller (Mongoose); and Tom Bergh (Foss Nation) picked up his first win of the season taking out Paul Gormley (Paddy’s Dropshots) in a
tough 2-1 battle.
Four weeks down, five to go. Half-way (ish) already! Yes,
there is time to get your matches in. No, I wouldn’t be waiting any longer to
arrange them. The last thing we need is for anyone to come to me close to the
deadline claiming a forfeit because their opponent cancelled in week 2. You won’t
get one. So play them!
