Scores have been up for a while for this week but hadn't got around to posting - form for next week is live now as well.
I doubled the scores for the 3 games that took place and didn't include category picks. 6 players scored 50 points (Victor, Paj, Stockcar86, Mikedogz, Joan and Mary, Crucial. Higgins still leads by 4 from Victor who is 6 ahead of Paj. Plastered Peni, Stockcar86 and Stargazer in 4th, 5th, 6th are all within 18 of the lead so still all to play for with 2 weeks to go.
Counties-Waikato and Hawke's Bay will compete in the final over the next 2 weekends as Counties-Waikato defeated Wellington in a big upset.
Higgins won the TSF Cup so is going for the double.
This seems unusual, but all the players in the top 8 are from just 2 teams - Hawkes Bay and Wairarapa Bush

That is weird - and the top 14 are all from those 2 teams plus Wellington. Which makes Counties-Waikato's achievement in making the final even more remarkable.

@stockcar86 Clearly they are cheating by actually knowing who has form in the Insert Building Products Supplier Cup.
Aside from somehow being aware that Hawkes Bay have held on to the RS I have no idea who has done well. No local representation and several plane loads of our best on tour with the AB's means the season has a massive * against all results

Don't forget to tip. This week and next week and then you can take 3 months off.

All updated on the site
Given the restricted nature of the comp, Broughie almost had a perfect 80, picking 4/4 margins and Hawke's Bay as top scorers. But picking Ta$man as low scorers was not done by anyone so he had to settle for 72. Still way down the table though. 4/4 results was also picked by Dogmeat, Corkscrew & Hooroo but none of these is in contention either.
Strangely nobody in the top 12 picked better than 2/2. Plastered Peni had 2 maximums and draws level with Higgins with 1 round to go. Their lead is 10 over Paj and 12 over Victor.
Counties-Waikato lead Hawke's Bay by 8 after the first leg of their final. Could this be their first title since Waikato won in 2009? In the 3/4 place game, Wairarapa Bush leads Wellington by 8. In the plate final, South Island had the highest score of the season and lead a shrinking BOP team by 39.

@antipodean Apologies - I should have called out that you matched Bay Imports for lowest score of the season. Correcting my mistake right now

Cheers. Finally some recognition.

Who out of the top 10 thinks they can take out the whole comp in the final week?
Higgins has won twice before and has been in the top 5 for the past 3 seasons.
Plastered Peni was 3rd in 2016.
Paj was once 2nd in 2010 but in his last 4 attempts he was no higher than 38th.
Victor has been 2nd 3 times and 3rd once.
Hurrycanes was 4th in 2011.
Stargazer was 4th in 2018.
Stockcar86 was 5th in 2011.
Propsicle won in 2013.
Buck was 3rd in 2015.
Laurence has never been higher than 17th.

Final tipping call of the season. Get those tips in now and make sure they possess quality!

No surprises in the final 4 results so most of us picked all 4 - margins a bit more tricky and only Laurence, Crucial and FarNthHayden had 3 correct - but of those only Laurence had Southland as lowest scorers so had the top score of 67 - the 2nd highest of the season.
Both Higgins and Plastered Peni scored 62 to stay level at the top and share the title. Victor hopped above Paj to take 3rd as Paj picked Wellington to win.
Counties-Waikato win the team title against Hawke's Bay with Wairarapa Bush taking 3rd place.
Thanks to everyone that played, especially if you stuck it through to the end given all the disruption.

Whilst disappointing to lose we can have no grumbles as the Counties-Waikato side beat the Bay guys in each of the three matches between the sides this season. Congratulations and well done to you lot, even having the cheek to take us on one short this week!!!!
