PWJ Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 20 hours ago, Say No More said: Final breakdown of the points table. All counts for nothing now that we hit the knockout phase 😊 Thanks Peter for another superb round robin and immaculate scoring and updates as always. Love these comps and especially this time, as this comp has been a huge contributor to my Covid lockdown sanity! Interesting that the 4 sides to succeed with their Joker plays are the 4 Finalists. Joker is critical to success in these comps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I've blown BOTH my BB races. Not good ! I should have taken the advice of Geoff -our super-sub in waiting - who has won 4 from 5 (including 2 quinellas) on the spare set he emailed to me earlier today. But let's face it ...who goes to the younger brother saying ya can't cope and need help ! 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 In the next: Five-Oh can pull one back (1-3) with Way Beyond, The Actuary or Kefalonia and pull two back (2-3) with Cosmic Gossip while Outburst helps The James Gang go 5-zip clear with See Marie while Concillium helps (a lot!) Maximillions helped by Toscanini or Cosmic Gossip Much Too Fast helped by Haz De Bee, Way Beyond & Outburst - quinellas might make a difference here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
