Remonte--February 2019 Rankings and Leading Monthly Leaders along with Win-Loss Records

Oriamendi2010 Roster

Full February 2019 Rankings with ranking explanation

Historical monthly rankings back to July 2011

Leaders for February 2019 were

Group A: Matxin III (delantero--front court) 40
Group B: Arruarte (delantero--front court) 36

February marked the end of the two longest winning streaks of the year so far: 7 by Ion (Group A d-b) and Larranaga (Group B (d-b). It also marked the end of Uterga's amazing 12 match doubles winning streak. The end came with a 40-39 loss with Larranaga (whose winning streak was broken on February 9) to Ansa II-Barrenetxea IV on February 14. Matxin III was perfect for the month, his only defeat coming in a 3 v 3 match on the February 23, 2019 "Remonte Day" celebrations. The end of the month marked the start of the Ninth Sagardoaren Txapelketa, one of the premier Tournaments on the Oriamendi2010 calendar. A surprise came in the first match, a loss by Uterga-Labaka to Juanenea-Azpiroz. Since the end of the streak, Uterga is 1-2. Ion had a great month, but his only loss against 5 wins allowed Matxin III to win the #1 Group A ranking for the month. Larranaga had the heaviest load, 539 points in a month where he split 8 matches. There were 15 uneven group match ups (not counting the 3 on 3 match). The team with the advantage won 11 of those matches.

2019 Leading Monthly Leaders:

Group A: Extarri (d-f) 1 (January); Matxin III (d-f) 1 (February)
Group A: Highest Ranking: Matxtin III 40
