DUPL Season 14 – Week 5 Recap
📍 Mike’s House of Pinball – 04/02/26

Week 5 took us back to Mike’s—and at this point, it’s safe to say his place is becoming the unofficial proving ground of Season 14. With a stacked lineup of classics and modern killers, six rounds of 1v1 chaos unfolded exactly how this format was designed to: tight matchups, momentum swings, and just enough heartbreak to keep everyone coming back.

⚔️ The Battle at the Top

Three players walked out with 21-point nights, and it’s starting to feel like every week someone different is stepping into the spotlight:

• William B (21 pts) – Quietly dominant and now sitting at the top overall with 99 total points. Just keeps winning.

• Tony B (21 pts) – Another huge showing, matching William stride for stride and staying firmly in the title hunt.

• Joshua S (21 pts) – Consistent, dangerous, and proving he belongs in every conversation moving forward.

• Matt J (21 pts) – Huge night that rockets him right into contention.

• Zach S (21 pts) – Another statement performance—he’s not sneaking up on anyone anymore.

• David J (21 pts) & Mike H (21 pts) – Big nights on home turf, defending the house with authority.

This is the kind of leaderboard traffic jam that makes the new format shine—no breathing room at the top.

📈 Movers & Momentum

• Ian K (18 pts / 90 total) – Steady climb and staying within striking distance of the leaders.

• Mitch R (18 pts) – Another strong showing, keeping pace in the upper tier.

• Andrew “Muffins” S (18 pts) – Took advantage of opportunities and made it count.

🎯 Middle Pack Madness

The fight in the middle of the standings is getting tight:

• Brian S, Dana S, Porter S, Dan S all grinding out points and staying relevant.

• James E (15 pts) and Jack C (15 pts) holding steady with solid nights.

• Shannon F (15 pts) and Allison G (15 pts) continuing to battle every round.

No one is out of it—but nobody is safe either.

🎢 The Grind Continues

• Tom B (15 pts / 96 total) – Still sitting near the top overall despite a quieter night.

• Vern S (9 pts), Aaron K (9 pts) – Hanging in and looking for a breakout week.

• Tom L (6 pts) and Theresa R (6 pts) – Tough nights, but this format flips fast—one big week changes everything.

• Sheena B (18 pts) – Big bounce-back performance and a reminder she can absolutely hang.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Week 5 delivered exactly what this league is becoming known for—tight matches, unpredictable swings, and a leaderboard that refuses to settle.

At the top, it’s officially a dogfight.
In the middle, it’s survival.
At the bottom, it’s one hot night away from chaos.

And with only a few weeks left… every single game matters.

🙏 Huge thanks to Mike H for hosting another killer night. The lineup, the atmosphere, and the competition continue to make this season one of the best yet.
