BEVERLY HILLS, MICHIGAN – This week marked a massive milestone for the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as the inaugural LEG Teams format officially kicked off.

Starting this week, the content of the weekly recaps will provide a mix of LEG Teams blended with the traditional round-robin style that has been a 10-year foundation of the league. Both formats will run simultaneously every week, and we’re going to give both the attention they deserve.

Also, a quick note for the stat nerds: we are now tracking stats separately for Teams and Individuals. You’ll see this clearly delineated on the website. I’ve put a lot of work into building out this extra content, so please click around, explore the site deeper, and dive into the stats.

With the housekeeping out of the way, let’s get down to business.

The Good and The Bizarre of Week 3

• Mike V.’s Career Night: Mike V. put together the best night of his LEG career, posting a 20.0 KPM and 6.3 points per round (“PPR”). He logged a flawless 2-0 record with a +14.0 scoring differential. Sure, it was only two games, but we’re giving credit where credit is due. Hell of a showing, Mike.
• KP was En Fuego: KP was absurd this week, registering an insane 28.9 KPM and an 8.8 PPR. He went 2-0 with a +14.3 scoring differential. That 28.9 KPM? Yeah, that’s a new LEG record. But before you start printing t-shirts, KP, let’s remember you only did it across two games.
• Barker’s Bizarro World: On the opposite end of the spectrum, we entered the Twilight Zone with Barker. An 0-2 record and a 15.2 KPM are incredibly un-Barker-like. But it gets worse. He lost his games 21-0 and 21-3…losses by an average of 19.5 points, which is unbelievable for Barker. He was outscored in both matchups by Austin and JG, respectively.

GAME OF THE NIGHT

If you paid attention to the Recap cover photo this week, you might be asking: “Why is the Apex logo front and center?”

Well, as mentioned, the inaugural LEG Teams format kicked off, and Apex took home the honors as the winners of the very first LEG Teams matchup, facing off against the Petoskeys.

The Petoskeys (powered by Paul and Flowers) raced out to a commanding 10-2 lead, punctuated by Flowers dropping a devastating 10-1 bomb on Mike V. in the fourth round.

Apex (led by Dibble and Mike V.) didn’t panic. They responded with a 7-0 run, though it was at a snail’s pace. They had to ham-and-egg their way back into the game over five grueling rounds.

By the 10th round, the score had tightened at 10-9. From there, it was a nip-tuck affair, with neither team able to gain more than a three-point advantage down the stretch.

After 18 rounds, Apex held a razor-thin 19-18 lead. In the final frame, Paul and Dibble both littered the board with two bags apiece. Paul missed two difficult push shots with his third and fourth bags, leaving the door wide open. Dibble stepped up and went 1-for-2 on his airmail attempts—sinking the game-winner. LEG Teams is officially off and running.

Final Score: Apex 21, Petoskeys 18.

Tale of the Tape:

Apex	PPR		Petoskeys	PPR
Dibble	6.9	vs.	Paul	5.5
Mike V.	5.0	vs.	Flowers	6.1

MUSHROOM STAMP MOMENT

Game 12 pitted Joe and Flowers against Paul and Melissa, and it brought us the Mushroom Stamp Moment (“MSM”) of the week.

Paul and Melissa were staring at a 19-14 deficit. Coupled with the horrific memories of choking away a 17-7 lead as partners just one week ago, it’s a miracle this duo didn’t collapse quicker than a cheap tailgate chair.

Alas, a new week breathed new life into this team. Paul snagged four crucial points after a 7-3 round over Joe, tightening the score to 19-18.

That’s when Melissa stepped to the board channeling the energy of her legendary “F*CK YOU” earrings. She was ready to stomp on Flowers’ neck. She drained cornholes on her first three bags, while Flowers wilted in the moment. Melissa won the round 9-5, sealing the dramatic 21-19 rally.

Paul and Melissa deserve this week’s MSM for exorcising their demons and rebounding from last week’s choke debacle.
