Week 3 Rewind

The Handcuffs’ first win is a big one

Another good set of match-ups in Week 3, with both undefeated teams losing and the two winless teams picking up a victory, placing an even split of teams at 2–1 and 1–2. Due to total points tie-breakers, Anton and Josh sit atop the standings with Mikey and Tani bringing up the rear. Despite the low spot in the standings, Mikey is feeling good after scoring the weekly high and inching past the heavily favored Chode Jugglers. Three owners have two week winning streaks: Anton, Josh, and Binh. On the flip side, Marlo, JR, and Orlando walk in to Week 4 with a two week losing streak.
