El Barba has been racking up lots of wins the last 5-weeks and has closed to within 1-win from 3rd place Bueno in the Magic City Singles Championship for the 2020 season. The 3rd place prize is $5,000 and that’s a lot of dough, plus Ben is not far behind too, so the remaining weeks should be some great competition as players battle it out for a piece of the pie! Going into Sunday of Week 26, Bueno has 93 wins and El Barba has 92. Ben has 84-wins. A bit farther back are Ikeda (73 wins), Tennessee (72 wins) and Jeden (71 wins). The next closest is Anderluck who has 62-wins. He would likely be right up there in the battle for 3rd had he not missed some weeks due to illness.
El Barba has won the Golden Cesta Award the last 2-weeks and is on track to win again this week with a two singles game lead over Ikeda and RonRon. The two weeks before his Golden Cesta Awards, El Barba finished second in the Golden Cesta competition for the most singles wins of the week. El Barba has 7-singles wins going into Sunday of Week 26 and Ikeda & RonRon each have 5-wins.
Douglas leads the 2020 Magic City Jai-Alai Singles Championship with 156 wins and RonRon has 139 wins. Douglas missed some weeks due to illness and RonRon got a late start at Magic City for the 2020 season, so both players would have had more wins. First and second place pays a very respectable $15,000 and $10,000. It’s not too late for RonRon to catch Douglas, but very soon it will be next to impossible. There are 23 performances left from Sunday through November 29th. They each compete in 3-singles games a performance, so there are 69 more singles games to be played for each (assuming no injuries). At this point, it would be an incredible feat if RonRon were to catch Douglas for the Singles Championship title.
Douglas was the winner of the 2019 Magic City Jai-Alai Singles Championship.
