Riata Rules 101--3 wins in a row is a dynasty. If you win your dynasty match, that means 2 new teams come in. If you lose it, you're out and only 1 new team comes in.

On to good play by the usual suspects. Dub plays tall no touch net play great.
Walrus stole his fire on the Jefferson moments today:
