Of the 182 warriors who have entered the League battlefield, only one can hold the number one spot, that man being the first ever League Champion Adam JHobbit1 Saunders. Consecutive final tables means he leads by an impressive 29 points after below-par performances from kippery (32nd) and AlRawling (48th). However, with three BBP Live seats up for grabs and four legs remaining, there's still plenty to play for.
