The Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll, Wild Bill\u2019s, Route33 Alamo Car Rental, and Jonny\u2019s Team SCS each scored 8-7 wins over the Smoke Pub Magic 8 Ball, Abyss Titans, Jokers Homeboyz, and the Barcode Breakers in separate contests held in various bars on the island.<\/p>\n

The win by the Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll coupled by a loss by the Homeboyz had them enjoying a 20-10 edge over their closest pursuer\u2019s 18-12 slate in the standings. Wild Bill\u2019s and the Barcode Hobbies Deadshot are tied from third to fourth with 17-13 cards.<\/p>\n

Only the Jokers Wonderpool Aces had the most lopsided victory, an 11-4 thrashing of the Barcode Hobbies Deadshot.<\/p>\n

In the Tuesday League, Smoke Pub Armatech Hustlers scored a 10-5 decision over archrival Jokers IT&E Voyagers, while the Jokers Str8 Shooters and the Abyss Crazy 8 pulled off similar 8-7 wins over the Abyss Homeboyz 2 and the Smoke Pub Destroyers.<\/p>\n

The Hustlers, despite the loss to the Voyagers, remained on top of the standings with a 21-9 record, while the Hustlers and the Crazy 8 are in joint second to third with even 15-15 records.<\/p>\n

Thursday action will see the Breakers facing the Magic 8 Ball, the Wonderpool Aces host Team SCS, the Titans take on sister team Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll, the Homeboyz visit Wild Bill\u2019s, and the Deadshot battle Alamo Car Rental.<\/p>\n

Matches in the Tuesday League were still being played at press time. The Voyagers were battling the Crazy 8, the Str8 Shooters were playing the Destroyers, and the Homeboyz 2 visited the Hustlers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
