This season I was only going to play a few games at my home venue and Sunday games at Renmark enough to qualify for the regional final and I had planned to play some different venues like my visit to Parafield Gardens and Capt Prouds Paddleboat just to learn how other players play, I had no plans to make state final for this season.
Who would think 10 days ago that I was on the verge of top 50 on the state leaderboard.
I have played 14 games so far with an average of 38.09, even if my 15th game is a 10 point DNP I would have an average of 36.22 placing me around 35th.
I have had an incredible run this last 2 weeks a win at my home venue on tuesday night, then down to Berri for the friday night game before the deep stack, a goose egg at Renmark Sunday afternoon, 8th my home venue again and last night a visit to Barmera results in another win.
However there is room for improvement in my percentage due to the 5 DNP's in the games played, the foundation for the appearence in the top 50 was the win with 154 runners at the Berri.
I now have a renewed vigor to acheive my entry to the state final via the leaderboard rather than a venue and to make the top 4 in the Region.
One good win makes a difference.

He knows that, Des. He's just saying that with everyone playing 5-6 games a week with 60 runners or more, there's going to be more chance of higher points, ie: a better placing on the state leaderboard.
Its very hard for anyone not in the city to place well in the state leaderboard. Although, I played 37 games last season and finished 62nd, I was pretty happy with that.
And JJ is doing well this season, a few weeks ago she told me she was 18th.

Re: One Good Win Makes a Difference
I picked up 117 points for that Berri tourney, and that has made a huge difference to my average - all gundog needs now is 14 games around the 40point mark and he'll end up with an average of over 50. That should/might scrape him into the top 50. Should be doable, even in the sticks

Re: One Good Win Makes a Difference
I reckon I'm in the running to make it via the leaderboard. Nods. Killer number of players for the Berri regular game though... kudo's for taking it, and the points, down.
Will dance for your chips!
