DFC IX Week Three Results

Week Three in the DFC, Season 9

The Week That Was
It's been a long, long time. Too long, in fact, but Daniel Powell takes the week, his third of his career, at a 7-1 record. Its also worthy of note that he's missed the TB score by 1 the past two weeks... his current TBA? 1.0. Look for this information in the upcoming Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics...

Also, who holds the record for the most weeks between weekly wins? Its not Daniel, though he came close.

Finishing 2nd for the week... Zack Graves goes 7-1, but comes up short in the TB area, while Tebe Shaw also gets a 7-1, in 3rd this week. Joey Thornell and The Mighty Gainey tie up for 4th at 6-2, while Trey Cartledge continues his early season dominance, finishing 6-2 for 6th. Its possible that this might be his gauntlet laid down for MVP.

In 7th, Tom Johnson and Gina Roose both have much, much needed big weeks, 6-2, while in 9th, a three way tie rounds out the Weekly Top Ten, with Matt Halpert, Jenn Ernst and Jonathan Lenning, all at 6-2.

Also finishing:
6-2: Yours Truly, Hawbaker, Matt Latta, Jonathan Osborne, Barney
5-3: Ryan Sherman, Eddy Jr, Tommy McLeod, Eddy Mac, Spawn of Wookiee, Sarah Hasha, Turnbow, Jason Roberts, Mikey Nipp, Bradley Pinkerton, Jason Duren, Scott Latta, Tyler Campbell
4-4: DMOsborne, Justin Fisher, Garrett Cheney, The Big Wasyluka, Lori Sunshine
3-5: Tad "The Dynasty" Roose, Clifton Render, Drew Morris, Mackey
0-8: Chris Croyle

I missed JustFish's record two weeks in a row--so please double check yours and shoot me an email if something is awry!

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics

• Daniel Powell has a 1.0 Tiebreak average. While its not likely to hold much longer, its still remarkable in that the first three weeks of the season, he's been no more than 3 off the TB. I personally don't have records--well, I do, but I am not looking that closely into it--to see if this is a record, but its gotta be close.
• The lowest TBA for a career? Tim Wasyluka. His TBA of 11.7 over his 6 season career edges out Mark Gainey's 11.79, over the same time.
• Jon Osborne and James Hawbaker tie for 3rd lifetime, with a 12.5, over 7 and 3 seasons respectively.
• For a single season, one of the longest and oldest records in DFC history... Michael Nipp had an 8.2 in DFC I, waaaay back in 2000, and its never been topped. The following season, Tim Wasyluka came close with a 8.27, but since then, only one person has even had a 8.99 or below TBA for the year---James Hawbaker at 8.55, in his rookie year of DFC VI
• For an entire season, I've seen that a 9.99 and under TBA is actually pretty rare.... as mentioned, Hawbaker did it once. Tim Wasyluka did it in DFC III and IV (8.27 & 9.82)... Mark Gainey did it once, in DFC V (9.0)... Wookiee Fulaytar did it once in DFC III (9.55)... Michael Nipp did it only once, as mentioned above... DMOsborne did it twice, DFC I (9.5) and DFC III (9.82)... Jennifer Ernst did it in DFC I (9.5)... and Big Eddy did it in DFC VII (9.09). And thats it.
• As mentioned in the email, Daniel has waited a long while for another weekly win. He got himself his 3rd career weekly win, but the first since DFC IV, Week 7. His first came in DFC II, Week 1, where he went 8-0.
• While Daniel's 55 weeks without a win seemed like a while, keep in mind that last week, The Big Wasyluka broke a 62 week dry spell by winning the week.
• The record? Tommy McLeod. With last week's non-weekly-win, its his 80th week without at least share of the victory. He last got a piece of it in DFC II, Week 7, when he shared the victory with Jason Quinn. Two weeks earlier was when he won the week outright, giving him 82 weeks since a real weekly win.
• Lastly... way to cross 400, Scotty Latta!
