- WEEK EIGHT WINNER: Aaron Bowser. We had nine people go 6-0, which is the most we’ve had this year. Aaron’s 130 points were just enough to win the week.
- The group and lock winning percentages were great: 57.5% and 66.9%, respectively.
- This was easily the best week of the year. The overall winning percentage was 5.8% better than the next best week. The lock winninge percentage was 13.8% higher.
- The streak of having at least one 0-6 continues.
- 71 people scored 100+ points.
- Austin Browning has taken over the top spot in the rankings, thanks to back-to-back 5-1 weeks.
