That could all be irrelevant if someone else has done better of course - from a quick check Shaggy has done well too.

I just know I didn't do very well at all.

Indeed the rule book is out - and Darbyand wins on the umpteenth tie-break because his 10th placed man came 14th to Arabian Knight's 17th! Could it have been any closer? Well, yes, as I had exactly the same pick as Darbyand and so would have won on the time of entry tie-break..... if I hadn't tweaked Button down 1 spot on friday evening, costing myself 5 places (one of which was settled by my tweak being 12 minutes later than Sp4's entry).

Our championship leader (ex?) just misses out on the points by another tie-break (points of 5th pick)

TABLE

Darbyand takes the lead thanks to a second consecutive win, a third gives him the title but a win would also be enough for eagle224. 3 others still have a chance and even I can still get a podium.



FORM GUIDE

Not content for tying on points for the win this week, Arabian Knight and Darbyand move upo to tie for the lead here too! greenman is only 6 behind and good weeks for spinynorman or even eagle224 could still see them snatch the crown. We'll ignore the 8 others with a mathematical chance.
