Quick report. It's a thrilling climax to the regular season ahead - with 3 rounds left, 5 teams are separated by just 2 points with BOP Chiefs on top on points scored and Blues A out of the top four on points differential. Canes Black are 6th but only a win behind so all to play for except for Canes Gold and South Island who are playing for the spoon of wood. (Bonus points are given to teams when their scoring players have 3 correct margins more than their opposition.
Missing tippers were @Paj @ACT-Crusader & Bruce Kenyon - but all teams did manage to field 5 players.
15 points of category picks for @mikedogz & @barbarian
@hydro11 takes over at the top as @Dolamite crashes with just 24. 52 for Hydro with 4 maximums and the best score for the weekend. Gunner stays 2nd and just 4 points behind the leader. All moving into the top 10 with 47 points are Dogmeat, Mikedogz and JK.
Back to 7 games this weekend so a couple of the annoying category picks can be shelved.

My tipping hasn't assisted Canes Gold by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't know - you've helped to avoid the stress of fighting for a playoff spot

The 2 draws count as no points for anyone (just in case you had forgotten that rule) but scoring was high in the other games.
Of the 5 teams battling it out for the top 4 spots, no team lost - the Blues teams played out a draw. The Barbarians took over at the top from the BOP Chiefs due to picking up a bonus point and having a better points difference (with identical points scored). They beat Canes Black easily, Higgins and Triple T with 47 with only a 42 for Stockcar86 in response and @Bones didn't tip. The BOP Chiefs scraped past South Island with all 5 of their scoring tippers between 41 and 44. The South had the top scorer of the round, Dolamite with 52 and 47 from Corkscrew but the rest were poor - Smudge turned up a day late but still scored more than the other 3.
The SunJags beat the woeful Canes Gold despite playing with only 4 - Bruce Kenyon and @chimoaus were absent - and were rescued by Richie and Joan and Mary with 47 each. Canes Gold had no score over 40. Finally Blues B had FarNthHayden and Gunner over 40, Blues A had Justin77 with 47 plus Virgil & JK on 44 but they played out a draw. Blues A not helped by the absence of @Tim
Dolamite takes over at the top with the top score of 52, 2 ahead of Hydro11 who is 2 ahead of Gunner. Corkscrew is trying to bridge the gap to the 3 leaders and DK is still holding on in 5th.
2 draws in the Cup, the winners of those ties is decided by the first to get ahead in next week's games.

Weakness in Google Forms I think - a long form stays at the same scroll point after you submit when the success message is at the top of the screen.

Time to tip everyone. 90 minutes to go

@KiwiPie what are scores like this year in comparison to same round in previous ones?
Just feels like they are a bit lower (might just be me...as in my score is lower)
