SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were quite pleasant, if slightly warm, for run 6, but the lowest turnout of the series led to the lowest points total for the series. Only 5 teams reached the 100 points mark, led by Mercernaries with a huge score of 216. They were followed by Rabobank Grasshoppers with 119 and Allianz Experience with 110. Mercernaries won the overall competition by the wide margin of 255 points. The total points scored in run 6 was 2,768.
