Box Wine Popped the Cork Early

 

After a leave of absence, Box Wine Children  came to win, not socialize. They opened with an 18, followed it with a 12-point Round 3, and never let the field get close. By the time they hit 90 before the wager, everyone else was basically playing for second. Final score: 95.

 

Freight Minds Drink Alike looked ready to make it interesting after matching the leaders through two rounds. A couple of quieter middle rounds created just enough separation, but 79 is still a solid night at the office.

 

Cosmonauts took the scenic route to third. After an 11-point start they caught fire with back-to-back perfect rounds, stayed in contention all night, and wisely declined to gamble away a podium finish.

 

KT quietly put together one of the steadiest games of the night. No huge swings, plenty of strong rounds, and a respectable 74. Sometimes consistency is its own reward. (Two League Points for the lads)

 

PM had one unfortunate zero in Round 3 that acted like an anchor. Everything after that was solid, but spotting the field a full round is a tough way to climb back.

 

Pint Half Full was looking good until the Final Wager remembered it had feelings. The six-point deduction dropped them from the low 60s to 57. Ouch.

 

Low Expectations continue to live up to only half of their name. They exceeded expectations with a strong middle of the game before settling into a respectable 55.

 

Del Boca Vista Phase 2 had enough perfect rounds to keep everyone interested but couldn't string together the consistency needed for a late charge.

 

Mortal Wombat started steadily, hit a wall in Round 3, recovered nicely, and finished with 48. Proof that one bad round doesn't have to ruin the whole evening.

 

Far Field delivered another night where perfect rounds were plentiful, but Box Wine Children were the only team that managed to pair them with consistency from start to finish. The rest of the field spent the evening trying to catch a team that never really slowed down.
