If you thought it was tough to get a winner, you weren't alone. Most of us really struggled today. Panther, Raw Instinct and Umrum the only ones to show a profit.

Umrum ended up scoring 134. Anyway, that leaves the table looking like this with one round to go before the finals:

Next week's games:
Svenvlad v Sportz
umrum v Real Deal
Leroy v Chuck
ijuandaQLD v Goldcoaster
Raw Instinct v Panther
maverick1993 v Jim Curran
feather v crash
Horse Whisperer v breadman

Unfortunately, the bottom 6 tipsters are out of the race for the finals. There's a battle going on for the 8th spot though. At the moment, it looks like it's between Breadman and Chuck, but Horse Whisperer could still get it if he beats Breadman, scores a bonus point and Chuck loses.

I want to marry Tawqeet--have only ever backed him twice--in the Metrop and today in the CC

sportz im flat out picking my nose at the moment, let alone getting a bonus point :P

Well, here we are. The final round of competition to find out the top 8 for the finals which start next week.

sportz, just so i know. To get to the finals, i need to beat breadman by more than 202pts, get a bonus point and chuck needs to lose? If thats right, what odds can i get on it happening??

:D

Okay, it's certainly unlikely, but it's not impossible. We've seen quite a few scores like 203-0 in the comp so far, and if you did that, then it would depend on how Chuck goes.

I'll race you for the wooden spoon !

COX PLATE
