The tenth round will bring a series of crucial duels, including two matches for position within the TOP 4:
@actifit-godfish vs @davidthompson57: A 24-point clash! The winner will solidify their spot in the immediate lead, and the loser may drop behind @caspermoeller89 (if he wins). A win for @actifit-godfish is more likely due to his better form in recent rounds.@silvertop vs @flemingfarm: Relegated Player vs. Leader! @flemingfarm (27 pts) has a chance for 30 points, but @silvertop (18 pts) must win to keep promotion hopes alive. This will be the leader's toughest match in a while.@atongis vs @caspermoeller89: @caspermoeller89 (24 pts) is the favorite. A win (27 pts) could elevate him to co-leader status.@a07 vs @tom45p: @tom45p (18 pts) should easily win and advance to 21 points, provided @a07 finally submits steps. A victory for @tom45p is an absolute necessity in his fight for the TOP 4.
