Series #90 – Run 1 – 7 February 2018 – Run No. 535

GENERAL BUSINESS
In series 90 we welcome two new teams to the competition: JPM Jets and Apra Standard Setters. They are replacing QBE Risky Runners and Allianz Experience, who we hope will both get an opportunity to return to the Corporate Cup in the future.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Pleasant sunny conditions, if a little warm, saw a big turnout for the first run of the new year, but a low point score. No team reached the 100 points mark, with the top score coming from NRMA Insurance with 96. They were followed by Westpac Trotters with 91 points and Deutsche Springers with 83. The total points scored in run 1 was a mere 1,850.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total
NRMA Insurance	96						96
Westpac Trotters	91						91
Deutsche Springers	83						83

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
There were a couple of very close matches in the knockout section, with Veterans Affairs pipping CGU Champions 33-32 and Awesome Midday Pacers beating State Audit 19-17 in a low scoring match. In the battle of the newcomers, APRA Standard Setters knocked out JPM Jets 28-22.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
The fast run target times have been adjusted for series 90 onwards, in an effort to make them more equitable. Legal Eagles, minus their hard-driving captain for this series, managed to gain a slight edge in run 1, with 8 fast runs, just ahead of Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 7.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
With a mixture of warm conditions in sheltered spots and blustery breezes in exposed ones, point scoring only reached moderate levels in run 6. Five teams broke the 100 point mark, led by Apra Running Regulators and King & Wood Mallesons, who both scored 141 points, and Reserve Bank Midday Milers, who scored 124 points.

GENERAL BUSINESS
Don’t forget that run 6 is on only one week after run 5, on 18 October 2017.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
An unexpected blockage of our main start/finish straight led to the course being slightly longer than usual for run 5. This, coupled with the fact that some runners had their runs lengthened by being “trapped” in the enclosure, led to a low scoring day. Apra Running Regulators were the only team to reach 100 points, top scoring with 103. They were followed by King & Wood Mallesons on 95 and Macquarie Nomads on 80. The top three places overall remain unchanged. The total points scored in run 5 was 1,935.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total
Apra Running Regulators	164	157	33	121	103		578
ABS Moving Averages	134	175	21	127	78		535
King & Wood Mallesons	142	120	57	112	95		526

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
Both semi-finals saw fairly clear-cut results, with Apra Running Regulators beating Rabobank Grasshoppers 103-53 and King & Wood Mallesons beating Telstra Tornados 95-63. Thus the round’s two top scoring teams will meet in the final, while Rabobank Grasshoppers and Telstra Tornados will play off for third place.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Legal Eagles dominated in round 5, scoring 10 points while no other team could manage more than 5. They now have an effectively unbeatable lead in this competition.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
A cool breeze made for much more pleasant running conditions than the horrors of run 3, and the point scoring bounced back to more normal levels. Nine teams reached the 100 points mark, led by Telstra Tornados with 138. They were followed by Deutsche Springers on 133 and ABS Moving Averages on 127. Apra Running Regulators and ABS Moving Averages remain in the top two places overall, with King & Wood Mallesons sneaking into 3^rd place, three points ahead of Telstra Tornados.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
Six of the eight quarter finalists were among the ten teams who scored 100 points or more. Inevitably a couple had to miss out, with MBA Yield Chasers going down to Telstra Tornados 138-117 and Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1 losing 121-106 to Apra Running Regulators. The other matches saw Rabobank Grasshoppers beat State Treasury 105-42 and King & Wood Mallesons beat ANZ Invincibles 112-97.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Hot and blustery conditions made for difficult running in run 3, and the point scoring absolutely crashed as a result. No teams managed to reach 100 points, in fact the highest score was 65 points by State Treasury. They were followed by Legal Eagles on 61 and Telstra Tornados, Rabobank Grasshoppers and Reserve Bank Midday Milers on 60. With such a low scoring round there were no changes at the top of the table. The total points scored in run 3 was 1,294.

Reserve Bank Magic Milers	142	155	26				323

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
All matches in round 3, were low scoring and hence mostly very close. The closest saw King & Wood Mallesons beat Macquarie Nomads by a single point 57-56 while the most convincing win came from MBA Yield Chasers, who beat ANZ Incredibles 55-9.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
A dominant performance from Legal Eagles, seemingly unfazed by the conditions, saw them top score with 9 in round 3. The next best effort was a mere 4 from Reserve Bank Magic Milers, followed by 3 from Telstra Tornados. Legal Eagles are already looking very hard to beat in this competition.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Run 5 had set the scene for an exciting finale to the competition with the top three teams separated by only 18 points, and it proved to be an absolute nail-biter. Westpac Trotters top-scored on the day with a massive 194 points, but this was not quite enough to overhaul NRMA Insurance, who had the second best score of 177 and hung on to take the series by a single point. Rabobank Grasshoppers had the third best score of 168 and took 3^rd place overall. The total points scored in run 6 was 3,656.
