🗞️ The Weekly Wrap · Week of Aug 30
The biggest shock of the week came in the Quarterfinal of the 2026 Fall Classic, where Stalc Chubs knocked off Gropper Upper 1 up. With only 20 percent of the pick'em crowd backing the winner, this one qualifies as a genuine upset, and it sets the tone for a bracket that is starting to separate the contenders from the field.
Stalc Chubs was not the only team making the pick'em crowd look silly. Barber's Ida topped Rob's Caddy on the 20th hole in another Quarterfinal, with just 39 percent of the picks going their way. Rob's Caddy had looked sharp earlier in the week, dispatching Mart's Hybrid 3&2 in the Round of 16, but the deeper bracket proved unforgiving. Elsewhere, Rush Hour survived a coin flip matchup against Mattjak Attack, winning 1 up in a Round of 32 tilt that split the pick'em vote right down the middle at 50 percent.
The losers bracket stayed busy and mostly chalky. Scotty Sauce needed the 20th hole to get past Ebel Haven, and Low Crush moved on by forfeit against Dukey Golf, a quiet result that still counts in the standings. Carve and Putt survived a 19th hole battle with Shy Burn only to fall to Tom Snydeboom 2&1 in the very next round, one of six teams eliminated in this week's covered results. The Fall Classic field now stands at 21 teams alive out of 32 total entrants, with the double elimination format still chewing through contenders.
In the season long pick'em race, trplbgy continues to lead the way with 360 points, just ahead of Rballer11 at 345 and MDGolfs at 335.
Next week, the Round of 16 continues with Yaks and Whiskey taking on Gorilla Gypsy, and Doylson's Law meeting Rush Hour. The losers bracket also rolls on, with Pickle Slice facing Mattjak Attack on Tuesday, while Squat Sticks versus Bobo's Putt and Mart's Hybrid versus Tom Snydeboom are still finding their time.
