Tight Races In Tycobbia
At the All-Star break at least 18 of the 32 teams in the Tycobbian Union still have pennant hopes this year. All four divisions are tightly bunched with multiple contenders and no dominant clubs. Strange as it may seem, the current Pro Cup crownholder, the San Alejo Montaneros (29-44), came out of nowhere and won it all last season, but just as suddenly have reverted to form and disappeared from sight this year. The Monties are a humiliating last in the TU South and 12 games behind.

Fairfax (43-30) won the TU North a year ago. At mid-year the Frogs are up on Luxora (41-32) by two games, while Hartsdale (39-34) is four games behind with Oxford (38-35) five games back and Mahaska (37-36) trailing by 6. Fairfax has the second-best mark in the TU and has been a strong club for the past five seasons. The Luxora Zorros have been near the top for the last four seasons and won it in 2031.

Many of the clubs in the TU South are only a short-winning streak out of the top spot with seven of them still in the chase. Summerland (41-32) has the mid-season lead with Turon (39-34) and Ginza (39-34) just two games off the pace. Southport (37-36) is only four games out, Arroyo Grande (36-37) five games behind and Colchester (34-39) and Cape Coral (34-39) tied for sixth and seven games out of first place. Ginza has prospered the most in recent years with five flags in the last 10 seasons.

In a three-team tangle the Midway Wolves (44-29) have the best record in the TU East this season, but are being challenged by last year's division winner, the Tuckanarra Blue Jays (41-32), and the tough East Point Panthers (40-33). The Wolves lost a single-game playoff to the Tucks in 2032. The Blue Jays have won the division six times in the last 10 years and the Panthers have been a solid contender for the last seven seasons.

The best in the Tycobbian West at the halfway mark has been the Kenwood Wildcats (40-33), but they have plenty of competition from the La Claire Lynx (38-35), defending champ Rolling Hills (37-36), Bay St. Clair (37-36) and the Bayview Vikings (36-37). Even the bottom-rung teams Arlon (34-39), Chicopee (33-40) Denton City (32-41) could get back into the thick of things with good second halves. Rolling Hills has been the division powerhouse with two Pro Cups and six pennants in the last 8 years. The Reds were runners-up last season in the Tycobbian Final 4 to the IPA Pro Cup champion San Alejo.
