Jason reports....
Thanks to everyone who competed and to the two tooth lighter Stuart for his help. A disappointing turnout this time allowed Mike, Charlotte & Sandy to take full advantage securing the top three places and thus putting themselves right into contention for the title, with Charlotte climbing to the top of the rankings for the second time after a two race absence. Eleven of you (down to and including Cathy on the leaderboard) are in with a chance of becoming the first handicap champion going into the final race(September 13th). As ever though Mike, Charlotte & Sandie will be penalised next time out!
It is pertinent at this time for me to have a plan in the event of a tie after the last race, so I suggest that in the event of a tie for the podium places that firstly competitors shall be separated by their head to head results. If their head to head results are tied then it will be down to who has run the least amount of races. After that I may have to toss a coin. If anyone can think of a fairer or better system please let me know ASAP.
For the last race I will need two volunteers to assist me as I think it may be a better turnout. Brad has already offered but as he is still in with a chance of winning I think it would be better if he ran, so I would be grateful if a couple of you who probably aren't in contention could lend a hand.
The following are finish order with points scored and time order for the Aug 9th handicap followed by the current standings with individual races run in brackets.
