Fast Break Recap: Day 12
It was a down day for Classic and Pro, but Historic had a rough go as only 13% earned a win. Classic had the best outcome as 94% walked away happy, compared to 56% in Pro.
Regardless of who you had in your lineup, you likely walked away a winner considering the high win rate, so there were multiple Studs on the Day relative to the lineup and captain you selected.
