Finally, the Elephants of the Veterans 1 team, as the most notable note of Sunday, December 1st, managed to be crowned champions in advance, this weekend in the thirty-sixth competition journey when there are still three weeks left to finish the 11th edition of the Veterans League of the Project, "Softball quality of Life". With their victory against the Jagua of the Veterans 2 team in the first time of this Sunday with a score of 18 x 6 in five innings (knock out) the Elephants reached 46 wins placing themselves 9.5 games ahead of the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team, when the Shrimpers (closest pursuers) had 9 games left (6 games (3 weekends) remaining in the league, the two of the current week, plus one suspended due to rain, in week 5), insufficient to catch up with the Elephants. It was of no use that in the particular game of this Sunday, December 1st, they gave the Elephants a brilliant and spectacular 10 x 0 bleached in the second shift of Sunday. The die was already cast. To top it off, in the third shift, the Jagua of veterans’ team 2, left the Shrimpers on the field, which consolidated the Elephants' status as champion. Thus, the weekend was divided of honors, ending the journey with one victory and one defeat for each team and maintaining the differences of the previous week in the standings.

In the thirtieth round of the Veterans League belonging to the Project: “Softball, quality of life” the three teams shared honors, therefore “el cuartico se quedó igualito” (all the differences in the standings remained the same). As a notable note, the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team managed to beat the Elephants of the Veterans 1 Team for the second consecutive week, staying 9 games from the top, still maintaining the mathematical possibility of being champions and extending for one more week the possibility of the Elephants being crowned champions early. The “magic” number for the Elephants to be crowned champions continues to be one (1). The Elephants, although virtually champions, have delayed their early coronation because their outstanding and powerful offense in the last three weeks has diminished considerably. These weeks they only managed to connect 29 hits out of more than 40 as a weekly average.

In the thirty-fourth competition journey of the Veterans League belonging to the Project: “Softball, quality of life", the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team achieved an important double victory that allows them to keep alive the hopes of being Champions, since the Elephants of the Veterans 1 Team have not yet managed to be crowned. The magic number is now one (1). With this double Sunday victory, the Shrimpers came within 9 games of the top of the standings. For its part, the Jagua of the Veterans 2 Team lost the double game and continues to slide down in what can be described as a poor performance in this 11th edition of the Cup. With this double defeat, the Jagua have accumulated 16 occasions in which they have been swept, which constitutes a negative record in their record of achievements.
