Group B: Segurola(d) 40 (March)
The race for monthly honors in both groups came down to the last day this month. Both races ended in a "photo finish." Going into the matches the rankings were:
Group A. Barrenetxea IV 36.67; Endika 34.5
Group B: Segurola 40; Ansa II 38,80
All four players were in action, but none against each other. All but Barrenetxea IV won. He lost 40-37 and Endika won 40-35, but it wasn't enough to win the month for him as he ended at at 35.29 (5-2) to Barrenetxea's 35.71 (4-3). Segurola won 30-17 while Ansa II won 40-35. Segurola ended at 6-0 for the month, the second month in a row that a player had a perfect month (last month Matxin III (A-d) was perfect at 4-0 for ratings purposes, but he actually lost a 3 on 2 match on February 23). Ansa II finished the month at 7-1. Heavy workloads were in evidence as Goikoetxea V (B-d) led the way with 9 matches, and Ansa II played 8.
Sagardoeren Txapelketa matches were all of the Star Matches for the month. The Tournament will finish its League phase in early April. In Group A the two favorites were beaten heavily in their first match. Urriza-Zaldua (Gaztenaga) came back with two impressive victories to advance to the next round. The news wasn't as good for Uterga-Labaka (Bereziartua) as they were knocked out of contention. Group B was and is still undetermined as only Gurutzeta (Ezkurra II-Garces) has advanced so far. All matches but one in Group B have been decided by 3 points or less. We won't know who the "final four" will be until the last League match is played in both groups, which is just what most fans were hoping for.
The uneven matchups were fascinating this month, particularly the A-As v A-Bs. (Sagardoeren matches are included in the totals). The A-B's shut out the A-A's 8-0. The A's who won were Barrenetxea IV(z) (4), Ion(z), Urriza(d), Endika(z), and Agirrezabala(z). The B's who won were Ezkurra II(d) (3), Ansa II(d) (2) Azpiroz(z), Goikoetxea V(d), and Segurola(d). The B-B's also had success against the A-B's, winning 7 of the 12 matchups.
Finally, Segurola's 6-0 month gave him a 7 match winning streak, tied for the longest of 2019 with Ion(A-z) and Larranaga (B-z), who both won 7 in a row in January-February.
