THE WEEK THAT WAS
Usually it happens within the first few weeks of the season, and week three is DFC XI's week.  That is, when a rookie gets their first helmet sticker declaring "Weekly Winner"

This week has David Tuck winning it outright, at 7-1, capturing his first crown.  Coming in 2nd was another who badly needed a win, that being Chris Croyle at 6-2.  Tad "The Dynasty" Roose gets 3rd, and Big Tom Johnson had a monster week at 6-2 for 4th.  Also at 6-2 is Zack Graves, coming in 5th.  Yours Truly gets 6th, and in 7th is Tyler Campbell, both at 6-2.

In 8th is James Hawbaker, and tied for 9th is Matt Halpert and Big Eddy McBroom, all at 5-3.

LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS

• David Tuck gets his first week, a feat that probably goes underappreciated.  There have been 65 people who have, in some form or fashion, been involved in at least a couple of weeks of DFC play, and Tuck becomes only the 38th person to have a weekly win. 
• I dont have the records (well, I do, but finding this out would be overwhelmingly time consuming) but I would dare say of those 38, maybe half of them have won a week without virtue of a tiebreak.  That means that Tuck was the only one who was 7-1 this week, as opposed to Week One, when Mark Gainey was one of many who went 8-0, but got the win via TieBreak
• Then again, its also important to note that Tim Wasyluka won Week Two outright as well, meaning for two weeks in a row, no TB was needed to determine the weekly winner.
• Tom Johnson, one of the guys who has been here since the beginning and has picked everyone one of the 976 games we have picked in The DFC is having what we like to call a "Career Year".  He has now ascended to the top of the DFC Power Poll, aka, best record in the league, spending only his second week ever at #1.  The only other week he's seen the top was Week Two of DFC V, back in 2004.  By Week Seven of that season he was out of the Top 12, and hasn't seen it until this season.
• This week, Trey Cartledge had a 3-5 week, ending the second longest current streak of 4-4 or better at 13 weeks, going back to last season.  He ties Zack Graves for the 12th longest streak of all time.  The longest current streak is being run by both Jennifer Ernst and DMOsborne, both right now at 14 weeks.  Matt Latta had 10 weeks, while Dan Sellers has 9 weeks.  The alltime record is Tad "The Dynasty" Roose is 45 weeks.
• The longest current 5-3 or better streak?  Big Eddy, with 5 weeks.  The alltime record on that one is Matt Latta at 17 weeks.
