Round 6 Recap Division A Through C Standings Shake Up Across Three Divisions

Oct 3
5 min read

Round 6 delivered a clean separation at the top of Division A, a tighter chase in Division B, and a three-way logjam in Division C. Across all three divisions, the latest results did more than add wins and losses. They changed the pressure points for the next round.


Mack Meller stayed perfect in Division A with another high-scoring win. Daniel Stock took firm control of Division B. Gaurang Shah kept the top spot in Division C, but the division remains crowded with three players sitting at 4-2.


Here is how the standings look after Round 6.


Division A has a clear leader and a dangerous chasing pack


Mack Meller remains the only undefeated player across Divisions A through C. His 548-401 win over Patrick Beatrez moved him to 6-0 with a commanding +475 spread. That spread matters. Even if the standings tighten later, Meller has built a large cushion.


Joey Krafchick is the nearest challenger at 5-1 after a 396-303 win over Jason Idalski. Krafchick’s +174 spread keeps him in second, but he trails Meller by a full game and 301 spread points.


Jeff Fiszbein also strengthened his position, beating Steve Grob 490-371. At 4-2 with a +249 spread, Fiszbein sits third and still has a strong path toward the top if the leader stumbles.


The closest game in the division came from Josh Kopczak and Trenton Charlson. Kopczak edged Charlson 335-333, a two-point result that moved him to 3-3 and fourth place. Charlson dropped to 2-4 despite holding a positive +67 spread, which shows how narrow some of his losses may have been.

Key takeaway in Division A: Meller has full control, but Krafchick and Fiszbein remain close enough to keep the division interesting. The bigger story below them is Charlson’s unusual profile, a losing record with a positive spread.


Division B tightens behind Daniel Stock


Daniel Stock made one of the loudest statements of Round 6. His 481-242 win over Doug Szymkowiak pushed him to 5-1 and gave him a division-best +316 spread. Stock now has both the best record and the best spread in Division B.


Kristy Zurbrick kept pace with a strong 456-420 win over John Healy. That result moved Zurbrick to 4-2 and kept Healy at 3-3. The 36-point margin may not look huge beside some of the blowouts in this round, but it was important. It created a one-game gap between second and a crowded middle group.


Anthony Anzaldi, Jr. recorded the biggest Division B score of the round with a 510-328 win over Sebastian Knowles. That win moved Anzaldi to 2-4, but his +4 spread suggests he has been more competitive than the record shows.


Mike Stafford also improved to 2-4 with a 460-328 win over Gary Perman. Like Anzaldi, Stafford remains within reach of the middle of the standings, especially with three players currently at 3-3.

Lost 242-481 vs. Daniel Stock


Key takeaway in Division B: Stock is in control, but Division B has the most movable middle tier. Healy, Knowles, and Perman are all 3-3, while Anzaldi and Stafford are only one game behind.


Division C becomes the most crowded race


Division C has no undefeated player and no one-loss player. That makes it the most open division after Round 6.


Gaurang Shah kept the top spot through a dominant 515-271 win over Joe Roberdeau. Shah’s record is 4-2, matching Penny Sitler and Sam Swain, but his +642 spread is the largest spread in any of the three divisions.


That spread gives Shah a major advantage in a crowded race. Sitler also sits at 4-2 with a strong +230 spread, despite losing 420-339 to Elizabeth Davis. Swain joined the 4-2 group by beating Jason Pipkin 356-328.


Davis had one of the more meaningful wins of the round. Her 420-339 victory over Sitler moved her to 3-3 and kept her close to the leaders. Bob Brail also picked up a win, beating Elston Wisseh 400-380, though Brail remains eighth due to a -595 spread.

Key takeaway in Division C: Shah leads, but the race is far from settled. With three players tied at 4-2 and two more at 3-3, one round can still reorder the division.


The biggest Round 6 movers


Several results stood out beyond the basic standings.


  • Mack Meller’s 548-point game

    The win kept Meller perfect and pushed his spread near the +500 mark.


  • Gaurang Shah’s 244-point victory

    Shah’s 515-271 win created the largest spread advantage in the recap.


  • Anthony Anzaldi, Jr.’s 510-point performance

    Anzaldi’s win changed the lower half of Division B and kept him within reach.


  • Josh Kopczak’s two-point escape

    A 335-333 result can shape standings just as much as a blowout, especially in a tight middle group.


What to watch next


Division A now runs through Meller. Any player hoping to challenge him needs both wins and spread points. Krafchick and Fiszbein are the clear threats, but they cannot afford much slippage.


Division B has a leader in Stock, though Zurbrick remains close enough to apply pressure. The middle of the division could shift fast, especially with three players at 3-3 and two more at 2-4.


Division C is the most balanced race. Shah has the spread edge, but Sitler and Swain match him in wins. Davis and Roberdeau are still close enough to turn the next round into a major reset.


After six rounds, the standings have started to show real shape. Division A has a frontrunner, Division B has a leader with challengers gathering behind him, and Division C has the kind of tight race where every point may matter.
