Week 10 saw the top of the standings tighten dramatically. The X-Factor (7-1-1) maintained its 1st-place position with a decisive win, but Hotel California (7-3-0) and Give'em Helene (5-0-4) both sita at 14 points, placing them just one point behind the leaders. The most critical action was on the A Pool cutoff line (8th place), where the difference between playing for the Bubba Cup and the Mini-Bubba remains razor-thin. Both Launching Missiles (4-2-3, 11 pts, 6th) and Net Sticks And Chill (4-4-1, 9 pts, 8th) picked up crucial wins, maintaining their positions. Importantly, The Little Dippers (3-5-1, 7 pts, 11th) leapfrogged Les facettes du jeu (2-4-3, 7 pts, 12th) out of the bottom seven (the B Pool zone) with a high-scoring 10-7 victory, moving them closer to the To Ben-finity and Beyond (8 pts, 10th) and Goon Squad (8 pts, 9th) tie for the last available spots.
Scoring Race Update
The top of the male scoring list saw a spectacular run by players who dominated the 3 Stars of the Week. Austin Perron (44 Pts, TBF&B) kept his narrow lead. However, Bradley McCarter (38 Pts) had a massive 7-point night, vaulting him into the 4th spot and bringing him within 6 points of the lead. Richard Tattrie (36 Pts) also made a major jump, moving up to 5th place after his 8-point game. This intense competition means the top five players are separated by just 8 points, promising a photo finish for the scoring title.
Josianne Garneau (22 Pts, LFDJ) solidified her lead for the female scoring title with a 3-point performance. However, Luisa Lawson (20 Pts, The Droufins) had the biggest week, jumping to 2nd place with a dominant 5-point game that also saw her net her 25th career goal.
