I was hoping that the table would look a little different, obv.

I can sense an incredible warmth for Ben Crane amongst the entrants.

I'm dreading seeing the Spreadsheet today. My infallible system falled.

If the positions after round 1 held until round 4, the table would look like this:

Tipster   Total
tikay-2   130.59
Chompy   48.66
Dubai-2   37.50
bobby1-2   28.16
TheDazzler   19.07
tikay-1   14.50
claypole   10.75
Dubai-3   8.66
Karabiner   8.66
Dubai-1   7.50
The Camel   7.50
Alverton   5.00
MajorMajor   5.00

Tikay's write up in Timeform.

Due to a "feature" of the spreadsheet I allocated a couple of wins incorrectly.
It doesn't affect the placings in the table but here are the amended totals:

Tipster   Total
tikay-2   130.59
Chompy   48.66
Dubai-2   37.50
bobby1-2   33.49

Rigged.

Thanks for noticing.

I'm pretty chuffed with where I'm sitting. Need Jacobsen to do something special!

Cripes, the cream is rising to the top now!

I'd be top if it were not for Camel, bobby, Methuselah, & Dubai.

Note, by the way, that both Dubai & I used the "pin" method. Food for thought....

For the Cheltenham Tips Thread, in which I think I cashed, I used alphabetical, & my two entries in this were alphabetical, & longest names. Infallible system. Almost.

Come on Peter Hanson!

[Karabiner]

What's going on, is there no "as it stands" table with three holes to go?

Sorry, been far too occupied watching the coverage.
Adam Scott has helped six people including you, obviously.
Matt Kuchar could still do good things for Dubai.
It's too close to call!
