THE WEEK THAT WAS
Two DFC'ers ended the week with a 6-2 record, and only 2 off of the tiebreak score... thus, we revert to a new record tiebreak rule installed this season... the rule states that if there are identical records, look at the tiebreak game itself -- if one person picked the winner, they'll get the nod over someone with the same record if that person didn't pick the winner of the game. 

Hence, Eddy Mc Jr is denied his first weekly win since DFC XV in 2014, ending up in 2nd for the week -- and Lil Stevie Ray becomes but the 14th (by my count) DFC'er to win two weeks in a row. Like I warned you people... Steven is suddenly on fire, and will be the one to beat in the playoffs, as the defending DFC Champ.

For the rest of the top ten, also creeping up quickly as we head to the postseason, Brad "The Bald One" Ashby takes 3rd, The Big Wasyluka continues his great year for 4th, And Big Tom Johnson gets 5th, while Jenni Ernst and Wook Fu tie for 6th, all at 6-2.

Mark "The Mighty" Gainey seems to have righted his ship, this week for 8th, at 5-3, also the record of Bradley "Pinky the Wisest" Pinky for 9th, and wrapping up the Top 10, Brad "Lawdawg" Latta.

Also Finishing:
5-3: Tyler "SPSBotDFC" Campbell... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Yours Truly...

4-4: Zack "The Attack" Graves... Drew // Morris... DMO... Tha Croyle... Big Eddy... Grandy Latta... Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... Garrison "Pride of Villa Rica" Ryfun... Mikey "High" Nipp... Danny P... David "What Tha" Tuck...

3-5: James "Standings Shaker" Hawbaker... Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers... Jonny Os... Matty "Pinky the Eldest" Pinky... Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky... Drew "Grassman" Warren... Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Hurricane Rhett... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky...

2-6: Young Garrett

THE WEEK THAT WAS
It's getting about that time of the season when Steven Ray gets hot... it's happened every year for the last few seasons, He bumbles about in the first part of the year, then as we turn the corner and stride to the postseason, here he comes -- he did just that last season, en route to winning the whole thing, his 2nd DeRamus Plate Championship. 

And here he is, in Week 7, taking his fourth weekly win of his career, this time at 8-2.  Coming in 2nd, at 7-3, Eddy Jr, and in a close 3rd, Trey "The Answer" Cartledge, also 7-3. The Big Wasyluka continues his fabulous season at 6-4, good enough for 4th, while Drew // Morris and DMO tie for 5th place. Drew "Grassman" Warren gets 7th, Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinkerton gets 8th, Big Tom J in 9th, and rounding out the Top Ten, Wookiee Fulaytar.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Leave it to Texas & Oklahoma to have a score so jacked up, that someone who picked 66 for the TB would still be 37 points off... thus is the score that gives a rookie his first weekly win of his career, as Garrison "The Pride of Marietta" Ryfun takes home the crown, edging out #2 Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... both had 9-1 marks for the week. 

A handful of 8-2 records are up next, with Hurricane Rhett in 3rd, Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky in 4th, and iun 5th, Trey "The Answer" Cartledge (all three former DFC champs by the way, in XVI, XIX, and XI respectively.
