Week 25 update


The FBLG season comes down to its final full week.

And the head-to-head championship will come down to a deciding third game as the Misfits rallied with a 209-point week to beat Billy Ashley Wind Generator 209-183.

The Misfits used three double starts to power their big week.

The head-to-head final has double meaning for the Misfits and BAWG as both teams are battling it out for second and third place in the overall standings.

The Misfits hold a 14-point advantage heading into the final full week.

The Rookies sealed up third place in head-to-head with a 171-165 win over the Fresh Fish, who are jogging to the finish after their red-hot season. The Fish still have a comfy 217-point lead for the overall championship. The Rookies have fourth locked down with a 118-point edge over Pitch You Blockhead.

The Arbitration Losers finished the head-to-head consolation round robin with a 5-0 mark. But that won't matter much if the Losers don't win the consolation final this week.

In an odd twist, the three teams tied for second in the round robin at 2-2 last week all lost. That created a five-way tie for second at 2-3. The tiebreaker was total points scored during the five-week round robin. And the Triple-A's, who suffered a Week 21 loss to the Losers despite scoring 213 points, carried that with 914 points to beat out PYB's 878.

So it will be the Losers vs. TA's for the consolation title.
