Sotka has 112 points is well ahead of Blackburn Jr., who sits in second place with 76.
The remaining players that still have a chance are Jonathan Riemer with 72 points and Scott Saari with 68.
Nick Palladino, who plays for Cleveland State has earned 74 points this year, is not entered in the Bill Barbour Cup this Saturday at Sleepy Hollow.
The winners of the Bill Barbour Cup will get 20 points each for the victory, and the winner at the Tour Championship at Manakiki on October 12 will receive 40 points.
