Round 1

Someone woke up Dutch Roll.  In a slump of late (9th and 8th place finishes the last two weeks) Dutch Roll ties the all-time record low round in Rotoff and leads 2nd place Sand Crabs by four shots.  The only thing left to decide this week is seeding and the final playoff spot.  Down by eight points coming into this week Honma is not quitting yet, currently tied in Points for the last spot with Shlink Lincoln, who would get the nod on tiebreakers.  Even still a win by Honma could get him in to next weeks SLS Cup Playoffs if Shlink Lincoln finishes 9th or 10th.  It will be an interesting weekend.
