Housekeeping bit: No tips for the German win from chalky, Pothas or ripper, but as everyone else tipped Jerry the round's lowest is a 1, which they all pick up.

Germany by one wasn't a popular prediction, but dav & tozz pick up 2s (SKD's extra being absolutely crucial, but more of that later) and Straw Man gets all 3 for the 3-2 win.

Spain winning 1-0 was quite a popular shout,and along with dav and tozz, Noble One, Matteh, Ausage, Meridio, fred & Somers pick up big 10s for calling it.

Final round bonuses of .02 to tozz & dav. &, in a more thrilling finish than the actual tournament got, SKD's 12 point haul draws him level on 58 with Pothas, but the former's extra bonuses give him the title by the narrowest of margins. Couldn't have been closer, Brian! Fair play to both and kudos to Pothas for not just replicating dav's prediction to ensure he won.

Matteh rounds out the medals in 3rd and Somers's 11 on the last day means he pips Faaip for 4th.

Thanks to all who took part and especially those who stuck with it to the bitter end.

[GIMH]

Level with SS, ugh

[Marcuss]

Could be worse

[alternative]

Nice jump with 12 points there.

Anyway BB, thanks for running the comp. Nicely done.

[marc71178]

Ouch, I sucked.

[Burgey]

Sorry I faded out of this, my direness was too great for me to continue.
But thanks to Brumbers for running it all the same.

[Ausage]

Top job Brumby.

[Adamc]

Disappointing finish cost me a few places but pretty happy with seventh considering I was last at one point. Cheers for running it Brumby.

[Pothas]

Not tipping the 3/4th play off really cost me but well done SKD got the final right so deserves it.
