I'm surprised Montreal United hasn't been here to update the results. Perhaps, he's still celebrating! With all ten teams playing and France and surprising Kazahkstan double winners, he picked up 25 points on 8 wins and a draw!

Next closest was Amerikaki with 13 points on 4 wins, a draw, and 5 losses. Eldiablito had the second best productivity with 11 points on 3 wins and 2 draws on 7 active teams.

He must have known today was coming! The bigwinner today was tomvandamn! Double winner Italy and Northern Ireland led the way to a 19 point day and a jump from the bottom of the table to 7th.

Bluedaddy19 won 5 of 7 games to join eldiablito with 5 of 9 wins for 15 points.
