A difficult day for many of us, as wins proved elusive. 

Congratulations to Brian and his Mainly Dollarz team, too good for us today. Special mention of TC who has now gone 11 from 11, and I now pass the mantle on to another optimist to try to take the champ down. 

On the brighter side for us 'Ad Augusta',  good wins to Casper and Wrinkles; we're still right there in 3rd place; and we still have that Joker to unleash. Hopefully we'll unleash it the day that I score more than today's miserable $42. :D  

Thanks for your scoring and updates, PJ.

Not so much a successful day today, but an enjoyable day of racing nonetheless.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone.

Well done TC, 11-0, who is going to be your unfortunate adversary next week

Ah I see Betty, she'll clean you up:)

Thanks Hesi - have certainly had my fair share of good luck.  Still waiting for that curse to kick in - perhaps next week.

Three very, very close individual matches in our 'Ad Augusta' / 'The Dark Horses' 3rd v 1st Joker play game.

So still anyone's match.

But fairly late in the piece I'd be surprised if we Double AAs came away with nothing from our Joker play, even if it's no more than for for a higher team aggreggate.

And the best news for 'Ad Augusta' ??

We've still got the Bellas to come !

Sugar Bella.

Invincibella !

To bring the team home.

4 minutes ago, The Crucible said:

Could be in line for the magical 10 pointer!?  

hehe ... now that would just be greedy of us, TC !

But I have to say we'd definitely take it if it's still on offer.  :D

Tom leading Rosina by $1. Could be only Silent Sedition or Ravi standing in the way of the magical 10 pointer. 

The very best of luck to you TC only 2 races away from the absolutely magical 12 from 12 individual matchplay victories.. You're a legend, young fella.

$1671.80

5 (x 2 Joker play) = 10 points 

The Dark Horses had lost it before the last but went out with collects from MVP Skelly (quinella), Sarah and Korio. The Ad Augustas won 5-zip as predicted by their erstwhile Captain who claimed the final collect with a quinella. Catalano was Man of the Match with a big score while Casper was in great form also. With their Joker play the AAs claimed the magic maximum bonus points.

0 (x 2 Joker play) = 0 points

The Dollarz had lost it before the last but the still unbeaten TC claimed MVP honours with a quinella to pip Brian. The Betza Grands needed $200 for a team profit bonus point and got it with final collects from Robert (a BB), Betty and Graeme. Robert claimed Man of the Match honours with good scoring from Dave and Graeme also. The Dollarz Joker play proved unsuccessful but the Betzas turned 2 bonus points (another for 4-1 margin) into 4 .

The Royle Family had 4 chances to win it in the last and while Lubiton and White Moss loomed neither could finish it off and in fact the Royles failed to score in any of the final 3 races in Oz, so the Lay Down Miseres took another win and ended the day with a BB from Steve P which took him past Jen and earned his side a bonus point for a 4-1 margin. Tony was the LDM's Man of the Match while his opponent Pete was Royle MVP.

3 THE RUBIKS (5th)

$1226.20

2 points

Late drama here as The Rubiks, who had only been ahead for a couple of races early in the day, stole it in the last when Hesi's BB took him past Redrum to tip the match in their favour with Captain Cubes also contributing a 6th winner. FNT Rob also snagged a BB in the last. Redrum was nevertheless the Five No Trumps MVP while Cubes just pipped Hesi for Man of the Match honours. No bonus points were earned although the FNTs had been ahead on aggregate until the last when they were denied a point by just $4.00.

The Table after ROUND 12

1st 29 Ad Augusta* $13,168.00

2nd 24 Betza Grands* $12,754.20

3rd 22 The Dark Horses* $13,056.20

4th 20 Mainly Dollarz* $12,990.80

-------- finals qualification mark---------------

5th 18 The Rubiks $12,891.00

6th 17 The Royle Family $11,372.80

7th 15 Lay Down Misere* $11,823.60

8th 14 Five No Trumps $12,631.80

 

The Dark Horse's defeat by the Joker-playing Ad Augustas changed the table considerably with the AAs rocketing to a 5 point lead at the top after a maximum 10 pointer while the Dark Horses slipped two places to 3rd also being overtaken by the other successful Joker Players - the Betza Grands who gained 4 places. Defeats for the Mainly Dollarz and Royle Family saw them lose two places each while a loss for the Five No Trumps saw them dip one place into the cellar at an inconvenient time. The Rubiks win enabled them to hang on to 5th while the Lay Down Miseres victory took them out of the cellar and up one place. Three of the four sides outside the Finals qualification places still have Joker plays up their sleeves so there could be a few surprises yet to come.

Congrats to:

- my Misere team-mates - nice win today and out of the cellar for the first time in quite a while.  Couple of big wins in the remaining rounds and we have a very rough shot at the play-offs :)

- team AA - outstanding effort today - the elusive 10 pointer - hats off to Howie and the team. 

- TC - the dirty dozen and no sign of slowing.  Who's next?

Thanks as always Peter J.  Love this competition.
