Highest Monthly Rating for the Year

Group B: Segurola(d) 40 (March); Aizpuru III (April) 40

As happened last month, the rankings battle in Group B came down to the final session of the month on April 27. Aizpuru III played only 4 matches during the month, the minimum for qualification for Monthly Winner. He won them all. On April 27 Segurola, at 7-0 (and riding a 2019 roster high 14 game winning streak), needed a win for 2 perfect rankings months (40 points) in a row. (Ironically, 2 of his wins came with Aipuru III as his partner.) But things didn't work out for Segurola this time, as he and Barrenetxea IV fell to Zeberio II and Ion (A-A) 40-25. In the Group  A "the mighty fell" as Barrentxea IV, last month's rankings leader, fell to the foot of the table (35.71 to 26.57) as his record fell from 4-3 to 1-6. Endika, at 5-1, was the rankings winner. The other interesting story of the month came from the uneven pairings. A-A got back on track against A-B, storming back from an 0-8 thrashing last month to win 4 of 5 this month. 


Remonte: (Galarreta matches only) monthly tables (wins-losses, points for and against, winning or losing streaks) (d-Delantro--Front z-Zaguero--Back *-d+z)--record will be kept by position). Tables are ordered by winning percentage. First tie-breaker is wins. Second tie breaker is point differential. Third tie breaker is point winning percentage.
