Tim: 294 Points, 33-Point Lead Over Second Place, Zero Apologies Issued or Planned
Tim does not appear worried about the standings.
This is remarkable, because the standings are extremely Tim-shaped. He leads 2026 with 294 points. His nearest competitor, Bish, has 261. A 33-point gap with 11 tournaments remaining. He won the most recent tournament. He has a bounty on his head, which two people collected in the same evening, and he still won. He leads with the calm authority of a man who has read the rules and believes in them.

The Bounty Situation
Two people collected the Tim bounty at the June 26 tournament. Tim still won the tournament. This is not the standard bounty narrative. Tim declined to follow it.
What Needs to Happen for Someone to Catch Him
11 tournaments remain. The gap to Bish is 33 points — closeable but requiring Tim to perform worse while challengers perform better, simultaneously, for 11 consecutive events. The math is available to anyone who wants it. Nobody has shown Tim the math. Tim has probably already done it.
