Today is the last performance of Week 24 of exciting action-packed short-court Jai-Alai at Magic City Jai-Alai in Miami, Florida. El Barba leads with the most singles wins for the week with 6-wins and Anderluck / RonRon are in second place with 4-wins each. El Barba is featured in singles games 1-4 in posts 7,7,1,5 so his best shot to help secure this weekly honorary award for the most singles wins is in game 3 from the lucrative 1-post. Anderluck is in 3-singles games; games 4,8,9 in posts 3,2,5. RonRon is also in 3-singles games; games 6,8,9 in posts 7,8,7.

El Barba was second in the Golden Cesta Award competition for the previous two weeks, Weeks 22 & 23. El Barba was leading Week 22 until the last game of the week when Douglas tied him with 10-wins by winning that game (both players also had 41.7% wins for the week). The award went to Douglas with the tie-breaker rule as Douglas had a higher overall % ITM for singles games, 66.7% vs 50% for El Barba. Current % ITM’s for the top three contenders this week are: El Barba 60%, RonRon 60%, Anderluck 46.7%.

El Barba previously won the award once during Week 6 of the 2020 season and did not win one during the 2019 season. SayHiLi has not assessed the award history for the inaugural 2018 season.

Douglas has the most Golden Cesta Awards to date with 20. He won his first one the first week he arrived in 2019 (Week 4) and won the award 12 of the first 13 weeks he played in 2019 along with holding the record of 10-consecutive Golden Cesta Awards. RonRon has won the award 7-times since his arrival in the late part of the 2019 season.
