This one stayed tight at the top all night.

Portillo’s Parking Lot (111) played the steady game ... no huge collapses, no reckless swings ... and capped it with a strong final wager to take the win at 79. Not flashy, just effective. Sometimes that’s all you need.

Wolfpack (064) lurked right behind them the entire night and went big with a 20-point final, nearly stealing it before landing at 77. Two more points somewhere earlier and we’re telling a different story.

Regal Beagles (063) came out barking with a massive opening round and stayed relevant throughout, finishing at 73. Strong start, solid night.

Gently, Gently, Gently…Nice! (071) took the scenic route ... quiet early, then a bold 20-point final to jump into 65. Aggression rewarded.

Houston We Have an Answer (087) hovered in contention and wrapped at 60

 Doki Doki Trivia Club (054) had the most dramatic swing of the night ... a painful negative round mid-game followed by a gutsy recovery to 58.

Latin 3-Way (144) also battled back from a negative round and finished at 53, showing some resilience.

Further down,

Sith Happens! (104) lived up to the name with a rollercoaster path to 46

Livin Lomita Loca (065) couldn’t quite recover from their stumble and landed at 45

 BeeSAPS (018) rounded things out at 36 after a tough middle stretch.

Close race at the top, bold finals across the board, and just enough chaos to keep Lomita interesting. See you next week.
