Analysis

Here we go 'round the tarberry bush. This week, Nordhagen Beach and Goodneighbor swapped spots yet again. The Party Boys had a weekend sweep at County Crossing (#23) and split during the week with Lexington (#8). The Hancocks were not as good, going 2-3 in a split with Egret (#12) and a series loss at University Point (#10).

Fort Hagen moved up a spot and hot Quincy moved up four spots to the #4 spot, while Diamond City drops to its lowest ranking of the season at #5 after being swept at home by Oberland (#6), who jumped six spots to its highest ranking of the season.

The Institute League all dropped, with Starlight (#9) taking the biggest fall down four spots after a 2-3 week.
