Head-to-head updates

Here's an example of what happens when you take your foot off the accelerator.

The Fish, who were basically unbeatable in April, May and June, proved fallible in July, August and September. They started the head-to-head season 13-1, but finished by losing two of their last four.

After easily advancing to the semifinals and winning the opening game of the semifinals, they dropped back-to-back games to Billy Ashley Wind Generator.

The Fish will win the overall championship. But they will not win the head-to-head championship. The BAWG posted a nice 208-point week to advance to the championship series against the Misfits, who advanced with a 2-0 series win over the Rookies.

The Fish will have to try to settle for third place against the Rookies.

Meanwhile, the Arbitration Losers improve to 3-0 in the consolation round-robin, looking solid to clinch a spot in the consolation final. Hammerin Hank is 2-1, while the other four teams (1-2) face must-win situations this week.
