Centralflaguy has bounced back to take the lead away from Taylorsallstars heading into Saturday's games. CFG gained 179 points going all-in at 5-3. Meanwhile Taylor lost his only game losing 128 points in the process. As of Saturday afternoon Taylor was able to make some of it back but this battle has intensified in the last couple of days as we predicted. It's definitely going down to the wire.

You may be able to view it without the password but I'm not sure. But you can only see the picks after the game finishes. That's how we do it in the Battle Forum.   https://contests.covers.com/OfficePools/ab8afd6b-1c27-446c-8ee8-a911016031ef

Both Gladiators struggled as they put up negative numbers. Centralflaguy is winning the war of attrition though so far. Taylorallstars has put up a rare 2 negative days in a row. Taylor lost 132 points yesterday. Today is the day for these Gladiators as only 79 points separate the two. It's going to be a wild day to see which Gladiator makes it to the Championship Game.

Sixbankz bounced back from a bad night on Friday when he lost 331 points. He gained 112 points and now has the Champ Mondo on the ropes. Mondo posted a lost of 119 points and unless the Champ can pull a rabbit out of the hat his great run will be over. Sixbankz has been Mr. Consistency throughout this entire Battle Forum and that could be rewarded with a Championship berth.

      TAYLORALLSTARS DEFEATS CENTRALFLAGUY

Taylorsallstars defeated CFG as CFG had his worst day of the Tournament losing 569 points by going 1-5. It was a bitter end for CFG who fought a great battle. Taylor went 4-3 and only lost 3 points. It was enough thanks to CFG's meltdown to put Taylor in the Championship Battle against his Dad SixBankz.  Congratulations to Taylor.

THEY LAID IT ALL OUT!

What a classic battle between Sixbankz and Mondo. Both Gladiators went all out and laid it all on the line. Sixbankz once again kept up his amazing sharp shooting. He finished the battle going a perfect 6-0 and picking up 656 points. It was definitely needed as Mondo went 4-0 and picked up 671 points. Mondo went down like a true Gladiator fighting till the very end. But it was Sixbankz's sharp shooting that was too much for Mondo to overcome. As the last day of the battle came down to the Sunday night game Mondo went with St. Louis and the Under but so did Sixbankz thus nullifying Mondo's bid to make a last minute steal. Nevertheless it was a classic battle and one of the highest scoring Battles in recent memory. Sixbankz will now advance to the Championship Match to face his son Taylor.

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

SIXBANKZ VS TAYLORSALLSTARS

Father vs Son 

The Father-Son Championship battle started off yesterday here in the Battle Forum in front of a capacity crowd. Taylor struck first going 1-0 and gaining 100 points. One of the interesting things about this battle will be the fact that both Gladiators have similar styles. Neither takes big risks and are very selective in their picks. They both also have high win percentages. They rank 1st and 2nd in win pct. Sixbankz has a 71.6% and Taylor has a 66.6%. Considering the fact that's over a 6 week period, that is very impressive. It's going to be an exciting Championship battle between these 2 great Gladiators.

   DAY 4

This Championship battle has lacked the drama and intensity that this Tournament has had. Sixbankz has lost his sharpshooting skill that characterized his play so far in this tournament. Sixbankz hasn't posted a winning day yet. Meanwhile Taylorsallstars is doing what he has during the entire Battle Forum and that's picking his shots carefully and hitting them at a high rate. Taylor has posted small gains but more importantly he hasn't posted a losing day yet. Let's hope the battle gains some intensity as we head into the first weekend with Taylor in control.

 DAY 5

                TAYLOR IS IN CONTROL

Taylorsallstars continues his amazing run in the Battle Forum and now he's beating up his old man. Sixbankz doesn't know what has hit him as Taylor continues to pour on the points with a slow steady stream like a leaky faucet. Meanwhile Sixbankz is taking on water. He did slow the sinking a little today by finally posting a positive day but when you compare Sixbankz'x 85 points and Taylors 347, well you get the picture. The bottomline for this Championship Battle as we head into the first weekend is that Sixbankz will need to pick up the pace and find his groove he had earlier. If he doesn't this Battle could be over before we hit the next weekend.

Taylor has lost 529 points in 2 days and has given up most of his big lead. Now Sixbankz is starting to smell blood in the water and is gaining ground. This Championship Battle might just be exciting afterall. So hold on to your swords boys and girls and don't change the channel. We just may have a fight on our hands.

TAYLORSALLSTARS ON THE BRINK!

The Battle Forum Championship is going to come down to the last day. Taylor has put together 2 solid days to take the lead from Sixbankz. Taylor went 5-2 the last two days for a 343 point gain. Meanwhile Sixbankz went conservative going 2-1 and only gaining 100 points. Now this battle comes down to the last day just like the N.L. races. Can Sixbankz pull a rabbit out of the hat? Will Taylor hold on to win the Championship and the coveted Battle Forum Trophy? This Father-Son battle will be a nailbiter no doubt as both Gladiators will empty the tank. The Battle Forum crowd will be raucous no doubt. This is the day we crown a new Champion right here in the Battle Forum.

SIXBANKZ  WINS BATTLE FORUM TITLE!

Sixbankz entered the day trailing Taylorsallstars by 180 points. He decided to go All-In and he maxed out on his picks. Meanwhile Taylor decided to stay idle. It was a decision he would regret. Sixbankz went 6-2 today but he didn't do it without some drama. The score was tied at 322 apiece when Sixbankz had the San Diego Padres. The Padres tied the game up in the bottom of the 9th and then won it on a Walk-Off hit in the 10th. That dramatic win was the clincher for Sixbankz as he squeaked by Taylorsallstars for the win and the Battle Forum Championship. Sixbankz gained 280 points on the day and that was enough to overcome Taylor's lead. Congratulations to Sixbankz on winning the Battle Forum Championship!
