First Dreambreaker of MLP St. Louis

The Phoenix Flames beat the Las Vegas Night Owls 21-15

SUPER interesting lineup from the Flames earned them the win

They went Cam - Daria - Alexa - Wyatt

What did this do? Forced the Night Owls to choose between playing guy vs. woman, OR move Blaine down to the last spot in the order, effectively making it so he had the least amount of points. Vegas chose this option and lost.

The only way this option wins is if Cam Chaffin has a crazy good Dreambreaker... and did he ever. To go 10-2, with two 4-0 against Roscoe Bellamy was CLUTCH.

I am wondering if we will see a strat like this from away teams moving forward to hide the second best guy on the team...

Tough to script it any better.

Welcome back, Grayson Goldin!

[The Dink Pickleball @Pickleball]

In February, Grayson Goldin couldn't form a sentence.

Saturday in Columbus, he won his first MLP Dreambreaker.

[The Dink Pickleball @Pickleball]

He was drafted by the Palm Beach Royals as a singles specialist. Weeks later, two strokes.

He lost his speech the day after a training session and was rushed to the ER.

The Royals kept him on the roster, knowing he was working his way back.

This weekend, Grayson subbed into the first slot of the Dreambreaker against Roscoe Bellamy.

He won it 7-5.
Royals closed the full Dreambreaker 21-15.

Event #2 is in the books! I am sitting in the CMH airport on my way home doing some stats from the event. Working on player stats as we speak.

Here are the season standings POINTS PER EVENT with some other nuggets from my Public Stats Google Sheet.

https://t.co/F4Rk8cwMNN

I will be updating player stats on the flight home. Regular season standings are updated.

One note on this - the disparity in strength of schedule in the four different pools has been extremely apparent.

Orlando tied for with Chicago and below Atlanta and Las Vegas is a prime example of this.
