Yup I am a true die hard KKR fan (you may see this with all my tips) and yes remote9said it right that if we win all matches hereon we may still qualify.

The playoff picture for this season's IPL is still unclear. Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals are sure of making it to the top 4 but after that Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are all jostling for the 2 remaining spots. With a little bit of luck even Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knightriders might be in the playoff mix. Only Delhi Daredivils and Pune Warriors are definitely out at this stage.

gtho4 made it back to back rounds of near perfect scores in our comp here and zooms up the ladder....he was in the basement after 3 rounds and is now knocking on the podium doors. He has picked 13 of the last 15 matches in the comp, and might have made a killing had he put some money with the bookies on the same results!

wwe84 managed to keep our record clean this year as far as picking the match with the most runs goes...

remote9 picked his first spoon for the season and tumbled more than a few places down the ladder.

"Dave's corner": The tipping comp organizer is 10-2 in his picks with his home team Sunrisers Hyderabad. They are 7-5 at this stage in the competition and need at least a couple more wins AND a slice of luck to get into the playoffs frown confused .

Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals are guaranteed to finish in the top 4 and enter the play-offs in IPL 6, but there is a scramble between at least 4 teams (RC Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knightriders) for the final playoff spot. Realistically, it is between the Sunrisers and RC Bangalore, but with some luck and mathematics, either of the other two can also still make it!

srini701 is guaranteed a podium place here, but after that there is a mad scramble between the next 5 to make it to the top 3 smile George95 did himself a HUGE favour by almost picking the round, and earned a sole pick bonus point as well, to join gtho4 in joint 3rd place, just 1 point behind Sypher.

wwe84 picked up a spoon and slipped a little further, but is still in with a shot...

"Dave's corner": The tipping comp organizer is 12-2 in his picks with his home team Sunrisers Hyderabad but would gladly have taken a 11-3 instead, after their last match against Mumbai Indians frown. The Sunrisers are 8-6 at this stage in the competition, but could so easily have been 9-5 and a little more comfortable about their play-off chances confused

It has been a pretty democratic comp this season with so many people sharing the spoons, but come to think of it, if you do finish last without a spoon, it might well be a new kind of record here smile

After an eventful final week of the IPL-6, the top 4 teams have been confirmed and Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will contest the play-offs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore fell agonisingly short of qualifying, just like last year, Kings XI Punjab finiahed with a 8-8 record and a 6th spot in the table for the third consecutive year, defending champions Kolkata Knightriders were woeful for most part of the season, as were the Delhi Daredevils, while Pune Warriors finished near bottom in all three years of their franchise history....

srini701 hit the front this season in round 4 and did not look back again on his way to the title. gtho4 was in the cellar after three rounds and he clawed his way to the top for a very, very well-deserved silver! illiniman14 stayed consistent right through the season and pipped George95 and a fast improving BxBarracuda to the bronze medal here in our comp! In fact, had BxBarracuda picked a banker and pulled it off, he might have won the bronze!!!!

BxBarracuda got 6 out of his 8 bankers right this season, so it is a bit of a surprise why he decided not to lodge one in the final right! George95 got 7 out of his 8 bankers right (he didn't lodge one in the first round) for the best record amongst us....the corresponding banker figures for the rest of us is: Sypher, wwe84, paper_aero, illiniman14 (all 6/9), gtho4, paa2isback, Howie72, srini (all 5/9), ozzz2002 and remote9(3/9), N-Bomb (3/7) and LeodaVinci (2/4).

srini701 had the best stats this season for right picks (49/72) followed by illiniman14 (44/72). The figures for the rest are: gtho4 (42/72), Sypher (41/72), BxBarracuda and paa2isback (both 40/72), paper_aero and Howie72 (both 39/72), wwe84, ozzz2002 and george95 (all 37/72), remote9 (36/72), N-Bomb (33/63) and LeoDaVinci (20/32). It was once again the bankers and the bonus points which did the major damage to our standings here grin

Thanks to all of you for playing the comp, hearty congratulations to gtho4 and illiniman14 for a strong finish and hoping to see all of you back next year again....

"Dave's corner": The tipping comp organizer finished 14-2 in his picks with his home team Sunrisers Hyderabad and the team finished 10-6 and qualified for the play-offs in their first season smile
