That being said, it really is about time I released the results in order to motivate you to get your tips in for the current season of tipping.
A very dishonourable mention should be noted for the only person to score less than 50% for the season. The Boy from Oz himself, Peter Allen, scored 10 out of 24 tips for a percentage of 42%, including a week where all of his tips were wrong. Fellow Lovers Tomsteve (50%) and AJ (52%) rounded out the bottom 3. Pete though, to his credit, never turned his back on his own team and backed them every week he tipped. This was true loyalty, and ultimately stupidity as it turned out.
To the other end of the table, Gref (67%) defeated Stefan (63%) for the bronze medal. The top two, however, were light years ahead of everyone else.
Jmac started the competition strong, pulling out a perfect 3 in the very first round. He and Jangles scored the exact same scores for the last 4 rounds of tipping. Jangles, however, proved why QUT is better than UQ and defeated Jmac by one single tip. Jangles (78%) scored 2 or 3 in every round tipped, while Jmac (74%) will be rueing his round 6 predictions when he tipped Rawhide to beat Messy and Passion to beat Slippery, resulting in his only 1 tip week.
To the losers go our commiseration, and to the winner goes (apart from nothing) our love and affection, although I think he's had enough of that already.
See below for a photo taken at the medal ceremony.
So bring on the tips for next season, where we can confirm that Pete has already secured his first 0 after the first week, and following the Messy/Lovers draw, no one will be on 100%, and no tip will ever seem safe ever again.

How'd me and Sensei go?
Full results:
1. Jangles (78%)
2. Jmac (74%)
3. Gref (67%)
4. Stefan (63%)
5. Julz (61%)
6=. Will (59%)
6=. Jdr (59%)
6=. Sensei (59%)
9. Wetnose (57%)
10. AJ (52%)
11. Tomsteve (50%)
12. Pete (42%)
If I was to try and split the three people tied for 6th on 57%, i would put Will last (8th) because he never had a perfect round.
With Jdr and Sensei, I would have to really be splitting hairs to break these two apart. Both had two rounds with a score of 3, three rounds with a score of 2, and four rounds with a score of 1. This would mean they were exactly the same if we left it to a purely quantitative analysis.
If, however, we brought in some qualitative analysis and looked at how other people did when Jdr and Sensei scored their 3's, we can maybe find a difference between them.
This would probably lead me to give the 6th place to Jdr (thus putting Sensei in 7th) due to Sensei scoring one of his perfect scores when four other people scored perfect scores (thus a seemingly predictable round) whereas Jdr scored one of his perfect scores when no one else got a perfect score (possibly through his blind tipping of Rawhide).
So, in summary, if we were actually having prizes and for some reason this decided some sort of prize, the 3 people tied for 6th would be broken up to be:
6. Jdr
7. Sensei
8. Will
Not sure I understand that logic - you could argue that Jdr obviously did relatively poorly in the 'seemingly predictable' round which should count against him and balance out his good performance in the less predictable week where he scored 3.
I'm with you all the way Julz, at least on this issue... Damn JDR just fluked it with his relentless Rawhide tipping.
But maybe he should be congratulated for that? Let those rankings stand.
games were rigged.
