From the foursome/fourball matches there were only 4 matches that got to the 18th hole so it looked like we were heading for a low total.

However, with the outcome of the cup already decided the remaining matches were played to a competitive conclusion resulting in the final 3 matches going to the last along with a couple of earlier matches to make a final total of 9.

Of the 21 ties, 15 were resolved at the first attempt with a further 6 ties requiring a replay.

Info from admin:
One of the forum moderators has edited posts (and banned 18 users) tonight. I assume the moderator used the same password on fiso as he did for FFHub (which was hacked on Saturday) allowing someone else to log in as him. I have deactivated that moderator and also removed him from the list of moderators (as well as removing almost all of the remaining mods in case they have not chosen a unique password for fiso). I have unbanned the 18 users. Dealing with edited posts is a different matter though. There is no indication that fiso itself has been hacked (all forum user passwords are encrypted via the phpbb forum software).

As a result of Covid related postponements the regular season table is sorted by win percentage rather than total points.

After 17 of the 27 regular season rounds, Catalans are having their best ever season and top the table.

We might be heading for the countback rule as no one has selected Catalans to win the Grand Final
With 3 rounds of the regular season left, Catalans continue to hold top spot with St.Helens leading the chasing pack. These two meet this weekend as part of the Magic Weekend fixtures.
Plenty of drama at Magic Weekend with Catalans staging a remarkable turnaround against St. Helens from 30-12 down with four minutes to go to an extra time 31-30 victory to guarantee top spot for the regular season.

St. Helens have now confirmed their position as second which guarantees both teams a home tie in the semi finals

Play off berths have also been secured by Wigan, Warrington and Hull KR with the final spot to be claimed by either Leeds or Castleford.

Of our selected teams, Hull and Huddersfield have officially been eliminated
Not only did Leeds capture the final play off berth but they shut out Wigan 8-0 in their elimination play-off to reach the semi finals

6th ranked Hull KR completed a weekend of upsets by eliminating 3rd ranked Warrington.

The semi-final line up is

Catalans vs Hull KR
St. Helens vs Leeds

Given that there were no selections for either Catalans and Hull KR, the points in this category will be awarded to the winner of St. Helens and Leeds
The top 2 from the regular season completed relatively routine semi final victories

Catalans beat Hull KR 28-10 whilst St. Helens saw off Leeds 36-8.

In the regular season Catalans beat St. Helens in 2 of the 3 meetings but the bookies have St. Helens as clear favourites

With no selections for Catalans, the category points are definitely going to St. Helens

If St. Helens win then it's 2 points for each of the 35 selections
If Catalans win then using the countback rule it's just 1 point for the 35 selections

In the first semi-final, Spain inflicted a first defeat in 37 games on Italy. Spain were 2-0 up and a player up at half time before Italy pulled a goal back to give themselves a chance.

Final score was Italy 1-2 Spain.

In the second semi-final, Belgium stormed into a 2-0 half time lead over France. A tremendous comeback in the second half saw France pull level and then score the winner in injury time.

Final score was Belgium 2-3 France

The Grand Final turned out to be a very close match with never more than one score between the teams.

St.Helens led 6-4 at the break but Catalans managed to move 10-6 ahead early in the second half.

St. Helens then drew level with a moment of brilliance 12 minutes from time as Kevin Naiqama collected a precise kick through before Lachlan Coote kicked the extras to regain the lead.

Catalans were unable to make a breakthrough in the final moments and will be left to reflect on a couple of lenient refereeing decisions in Saints favour.

The final score of 12-10 gave St. Helens their third Grand Final triumph in a row leaving 35 selections 2 points better off.

The long anticipated fight was confirmed for 14th August last week before an arbitration hearing ruled that Fury must face the mandatory challenger Deontay Wilder.

The "No bout takes place during 2021" option now looks to be a strong favourite for this category
A lacklustre display, by all accounts, from Anthony Joshua at the weekend resulting in a points loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

Any faint hopes of a 2021 match up between Fury and Joshua appear to have receded further.

I won't reflect points from the "No bout takes place during 2021" option until at least the beginning of December
A couple of weeks ago, Tyson Fury completed an 11th round KO of Deontay Wilder.

The next fight for Anthony Joshua is likely to be a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.

The next fight for Tyson Fury is likely to be against mandatory challenger Dillion Whyte.

I think it's safe to say that a Fury/Joshua bout won't be happening any time soon.

There were 5 selections for the "No bout" option which is enough to qualify for a bonus point for a total of 3 points

After 4 of this season's 23 GPs, there are just 2 different winners

Lewis Hamilton has won 3
Max Verstappen has won 1
After 10 GPs, Max and Lewis have won 9 of them with the one exception being Sergio Perez winning in Azerbaijan, where Hamilton could easily have won that one too.

So the 3 different winners so far are

Max Verstappen has won 5
Lewis Hamilton has won 4
Sergio Perez has won 1
Another incident packed GP in Hungary resulted in Esteban Ocon's maiden F1 victory which lifts our winners total to 4 and eliminates all the 3's
The Belgian GP ended in farce with a 2 lap race behind the safety car. Max Verstappen was declared the winner leaving the total on 4.
Another Hamilton/Verstappen collision at the Italian GP resulted in them both retiring leaving the way clear for Daniel Ricciardo to take the chequered flag, his first win since 2018.

This raises the number of different winners up to 5 which eliminates all the 4's
The most recent GPs have finished as follows

Lewis Hamilton claimed another win in Sochi whilst Valtteri Bottas took his first win of the season in Turkey whilst Verstappen held off a late charge from Hamilton to take the US Grand Prix.

The Bottas win took the number of different winners up to 6 which eliminates all the 5's - there are 5 more races to go this season

In the first semi-final, Spain inflicted a first defeat in 37 games on Italy. Spain were 2-0 up and a player up at half time before Italy pulled a goal back to give themselves a chance.

Final score was Italy 1-2 Spain.

In the second semi-final, Belgium stormed into a 2-0 half time lead over France. A tremendous comeback in the second half saw France pull level and then score the winner in injury time.

Final score was Belgium 2-3 France
A final of two contrasting halfs

Nothing happened in the first half before Spain took the lead just after the hour mark.

France were level within a couple of minutes and went on the claim the lead with a contentious offside/onside goal.

The goal stood and France held on to secure the second Nations League title.

There were 21 selections for France each earning a further 2 points

The super 12 stage of the World Cup began over the weekend.

Highly fancied India opened their campaign with a 10 wicket loss to rivals Pakistan

Meanwhile, England avenged their 2016 final loss to West Indies by bowling them out for 55 and romping to an 8 wicket victory.

The group stages continue until 8th November
Midway through the group stages and England and Pakistan are the only teams to maintain a 100% record.

Pre tournament favourites India lost heavily to New Zealand and can't afford to lose any further matches.

The top 2 from each group qualify for the semifinals

The opening match of the World Series in Houston was won by Atlanta 6-2 before Houston levelled the series with a 7-2 victory in Game 2

The series moved onto Atlanta where the home team won Games 3 and 4, 2-0 and 3-2 to take the total runs up to 24.

Atlanta spurned the chance to clinch the series in Game 5 as Houston won 9-5 to move the total runs up to 38.

All 8 ties could still go either way

Midway through the group stages and England and Pakistan are the only teams to maintain a 100% record.

Pre tournament favourites India lost heavily to New Zealand and can't afford to lose any further matches.

The top 2 from each group qualify for the semifinals
Australia are moving into form with a couple of routine victories over Bangladesh and West Indies enured their qualification for the semi finals.

Despite England having won their first 4 games, they still needed to avoid a heavy defeat against South Africa in order to join Australia in the semi finals - England did lose but it was only by 10 runs to ensure that they topped Group A.

Over in Group B, Pakistan were already through with a 100% record after 4 games.

New Zealand won their final 2 group games to ensure their semi final berth at the expense of popular selection, India.

The semi final line up is

Pakistan vs Australia
England vs New Zealand

The super 12 stage of the World Cup began over the weekend.

Highly fancied India opened their campaign with a 10 wicket loss to rivals Pakistan

Meanwhile, England avenged their 2016 final loss to West Indies by bowling them out for 55 and romping to an 8 wicket victory.

New Zealand won their final 2 group games to ensure their semi final berth at the expense of popular selection, India.

The semi final line up is

Pakistan vs Australia
England vs New Zealand
The first semi final was closely contested. England looked to be on top when New Zealand needed 57 off the last 24 balls. However, the match turned on a catch that wasn't as the Bairstow/Livingstone catch was overruled as Bairstow made contact with the boundary rope before releasing the ball. Jimmy Neesham took full advantage with a flurry of sixes to see New Zealand into the final with 6 balls to spare.

The second semi final followed an almost identical pattern with Australia chasing a potentially challenging target of 177 which was reduced to 38 off the last 24 balls. A critical dropped catch enabled Australia to finish the match with three consecutive 6s.

The final turned out to be an anti-climax as New Zealand crept up to a total of 172. A second wicket partnership of 92 ensured that Australia were always in touch with the required rate and they eventually cruised to an 8 wicket victory and claim their first T20 World Cup.

There were only 4 selections for Australia meaning a bonus point for a total of 3 points.

After 4 of this season's 23 GPs, there are just 2 different winners

Lewis Hamilton has won 3
Max Verstappen has won 1
After 10 GPs, Max and Lewis have won 9 of them with the one exception being Sergio Perez winning in Azerbaijan, where Hamilton could easily have won that one too.

So the 3 different winners so far are

Max Verstappen has won 5
Lewis Hamilton has won 4
Sergio Perez has won 1
Another incident packed GP in Hungary resulted in Esteban Ocon's maiden F1 victory which lifts our winners total to 4 and eliminates all the 3's
The Belgian GP ended in farce with a 2 lap race behind the safety car. Max Verstappen was declared the winner leaving the total on 4.
Another Hamilton/Verstappen collision at the Italian GP resulted in them both retiring leaving the way clear for Daniel Ricciardo to take the chequered flag, his first win since 2018.

This raises the number of different winners up to 5 which eliminates all the 4's
The most recent GPs have finished as follows

Lewis Hamilton claimed another win in Sochi whilst Valtteri Bottas took his first win of the season in Turkey whilst Verstappen held off a late charge from Hamilton to take the US Grand Prix.

The Bottas win took the number of different winners up to 6 which eliminates all the 5's - there are 5 more races to go this season
The last two races have been shared between Verstappen and Hamilton leaving us on 6 different winners with just the final 3 races to come.

The opening match of the World Series in Houston was won by Atlanta 6-2 before Houston levelled the series with a 7-2 victory in Game 2

The series moved onto Atlanta where the home team won Games 3 and 4, 2-0 and 3-2 to take the total runs up to 24.

Atlanta spurned the chance to clinch the series in Game 5 as Houston won 9-5 to move the total runs up to 38.

All 8 ties could still go either way
Atlanta closed out the series in Game 6 with a 7-0 victory which takes the final total of runs to 45.

7 move forward to the quarter finals whilst Joe and Richard will need a replay to decide their tie
Joe and Richard faced off over an NBA match last weekend which ended Miami Heat 111 - Utah Jazz 105 which puts Joe into the next round.

Rich C retains his lead but thanks to Australia's T20 triumph, John A has moved into contention especially considering that he has a strong candidate for his honours selection in E25.

England won the toss and elected to bat in bowler friendly conditions and were immediately in trouble losing a wicket to the first ball of the series. Having scrapped to 147, England were unable to restrict Australia as Travis Head took the game further away from England. Facing a first innings deficit of 278 runs, England looked to make a match of it on the third day as Joe Root and Dawid Malan compiled a decent partnership. However, any hope was immediately extinguished on the fourth morning as England only just scored enough to make Australia bat again.

Final scores were

Eng 147 & 297
Aus 425 & 20/1

making a total of 889 runs

Options and number of selections

3 – 2 *
4 – 13
5 – 25
6 – 12
7 – 1 **

* would be worth an additional 1 bonus point
** would be worth an additional 2 bonus points
After 4 of this season's 23 GPs, there are just 2 different winners

Lewis Hamilton has won 3
Max Verstappen has won 1
After 10 GPs, Max and Lewis have won 9 of them with the one exception being Sergio Perez winning in Azerbaijan, where Hamilton could easily have won that one too.

So the 3 different winners so far are

Max Verstappen has won 5
Lewis Hamilton has won 4
Sergio Perez has won 1
Another incident packed GP in Hungary resulted in Esteban Ocon's maiden F1 victory which lifts our winners total to 4 and eliminates all the 3's
The Belgian GP ended in farce with a 2 lap race behind the safety car. Max Verstappen was declared the winner leaving the total on 4.
Another Hamilton/Verstappen collision at the Italian GP resulted in them both retiring leaving the way clear for Daniel Ricciardo to take the chequered flag, his first win since 2018.

This raises the number of different winners up to 5 which eliminates all the 4's
The most recent GPs have finished as follows

Lewis Hamilton claimed another win in Sochi whilst Valtteri Bottas took his first win of the season in Turkey whilst Verstappen held off a late charge from Hamilton to take the US Grand Prix.

The Bottas win took the number of different winners up to 6 which eliminates all the 5's - there are 5 more races to go this season
The last two races have been shared between Verstappen and Hamilton leaving us on 6 different winners with just the final 3 races to come.
The two championship front runners were the only real contenders for the last 3 races with Hamilton taking 2 races and Verstappen the final race to claim the world drivers title.

This leaves the winners total at 6. There were 12 selections for 6 winners each earning another 2 points.
