The 2 draws count as no points for anyone (just in case you had forgotten that rule) but scoring was high in the other games.
Of the 5 teams battling it out for the top 4 spots, no team lost - the Blues teams played out a draw. The Barbarians took over at the top from the BOP Chiefs due to picking up a bonus point and having a better points difference (with identical points scored). They beat Canes Black easily, Higgins and Triple T with 47 with only a 42 for Stockcar86 in response and @Bones didn't tip. The BOP Chiefs scraped past South Island with all 5 of their scoring tippers between 41 and 44. The South had the top scorer of the round, Dolamite with 52 and 47 from Corkscrew but the rest were poor - Smudge turned up a day late but still scored more than the other 3.
The SunJags beat the woeful Canes Gold despite playing with only 4 - Bruce Kenyon and @chimoaus were absent - and were rescued by Richie and Joan and Mary with 47 each. Canes Gold had no score over 40. Finally Blues B had FarNthHayden and Gunner over 40, Blues A had Justin77 with 47 plus Virgil & JK on 44 but they played out a draw. Blues A not helped by the absence of @Tim
Dolamite takes over at the top with the top score of 52, 2 ahead of Hydro11 who is 2 ahead of Gunner. Corkscrew is trying to bridge the gap to the 3 leaders and DK is still holding on in 5th.
2 draws in the Cup, the winners of those ties is decided by the first to get ahead in next week's games.

I’m conflicted with @Tim
His absence cost us a team win but i was able to rise an extra place in the leader board thanks to his 0 -
@KiwiPie OK that's really weird, I did tip. I always get a blank screen when I've tipped though, so maybe I closed it a bit early. I highly doubt I would have scored better.

@Bones after you have tipped, scroll up to see the confirmation..when I tip I get a blank screen, but is in fact a couple of pages down from the top.

Weakness in Google Forms I think - a long form stays at the same scroll point after you submit when the success message is at the top of the screen.

@KiwiPie what are scores like this year in comparison to same round in previous ones?
Just feels like they are a bit lower (might just be me...as in my score is lower)
@taniwharugby Not sure exactly but I agree with you, this is a low scoring year. Best result picker is only at 67% and usually it is 75% or higher. The ladder shows how hard it has been to pick with so many teams winning about as many as they have lost.
-
The weeks with the four special category picks have been the hardest with not many seeming to get more than one of those at best. You only need to get a slightly "unexpected" scoreline to destroy 95% of tippers. This week looks to be a bit different with Sunwolves being stone cold certainties for the lowest scoring team.
-
Predictable win for the Brumbies means not only quite a few maximums but also many of us picking up 5 points for the low scorer pick. Bizarrely Waynes World, Dogmeat and Broughie all went for the Sunwolves 17+ - was it a gut feeling or mixing up the home and away teams?
The BOP Chiefs stormed home against Blues B to win by a point and lead overall going into the final round. Solid scoring by all but Sportboy (4 x 50+) and Blues B had 64 by DK but just missed out not helped by Dogmeat & Broughie's brainfart. They did pick up 2 bonus points though to retain their top 4 spot.
Blues A sneaked past Canes Gold to keep their top 4 hopes alive. Solid scoring was enough for the win as Canes Gold had 2 counting scores in the 30s. Barbarians and Sunjags played out a high scoring draw, Triple T the best of the week with 66 and Joan and Mary and Chimoaus both over 60 for the Sunjags.
Finally Canes Black kept their faint hopes alive with the top score of the weekend, Hydro11 and Cactus Jack over 60 and their lowest counting score a solid 52. South Island had 61 from ACT Crusader but have now clinched the wooden spoon.
So the table is
BOP Chiefs 42
Barbarians 40
SunJags 39
Blues B 38
Blues A 38
Hurricanes Black 34and the final round of games is
BOP Chiefs 0 - 0 Blues A
Hurricanes Black 0 - 0 SunJags
Blues B 0 - 0 Hurricanes Gold
South Island 0 - 0 Barbarians19 of 48 picked all 7 results this week with most wrong picks being for the Chiefs v Sharks game. At the top of the table, Hydro11 takes over again from Dolamite by just 4 points with another 14 points back to the resurgent DK who jumped above Gunner.
The Sequel Cup has reached the last 8
Hydro11 0 v 0 Joan and Mary

Don't feel too bad about it - if you'd both gone for the Brumbies, even just 1-8, you would have won the game and be top of the table. Like going in under the posts and then missing the conversion .....
But the BOP Chiefs team is appreciative!
