Leader Board as of 31/1/12

Below is the leader board at the end of the cricket and tennis. The Super Bowl is still to play so if you took the Patriots you still have some points to come. If you are down at the wrong end of the table, don't despair, there is a very long way to go!

Leaderboard as of 26/10/2011

Only one tip remains, the Melbourne Cup! This leader board is up to date as much as possible. No Formula 1 points have been added, even though Vettel has wrapped up the drivers championship, as the rest of the places are still very much up for grabs. Also the boys from Half Moon Bay are sweating on the Texas Rangers lifting the "World Series" in the baseball, so they have points still coming their way. Good luck with the cup!

Leader Board as of 25/09/11

I'd like to first start with an apology, in the last email I announced that only 1 person managed to tip the Storm to win the Minor Premiership, it is rare, but I was wrong. I'd like to now take this opportunity to publicly slap on the bum the following tipsters; Denise Chapman, Ron Keighran, Sam Wearne and Steve Mallyon. Well done to you all. There is an extra slap on the bum for Denise as the updated leader board will reveal why.

We are coming to the pointy end of the tipping season and it looks like it has turned into a 5 horse race with only 3 points separating 5 tipsters.

Leader board as of 27/7/2011

So the little bike ride around France has finished and those of you who stuck solid with Aussie Cadel have been rewarded with the maximum 15 points, congratulations to you. Having picked Andy Schleck myself, I still can't get a handle on the whole "gentleman's agreement" of not trying on the last day of riding, complete bollocks to me!

On that note, Orron Hart has requested that the YEAHMATEGO Grand Slam have the same thing in place so that he can just coast to the finish line without shitting his pants for the remaining events. Sorry Orron, not going to happen! It has become tighter than John Petkovic's wallet at the top of the table with more than a dozen still in with a realistic chance of taking the title.

At the other end it is turning into a real dog fight to avoid the wooden spoon, also don't forget that both 10th and 20th positions pay, so don't give up hope of being able to rub money all over yourself come November!

Leader Board as of 20/6/2011

Well if we thought last week was the time of movers and shakers, this week has seen an earthquake go through the leader board!

The Union has entered the finals, so congratulations to those of you who's team has made it through, and also to those who selected the QLD Reds to win the conference. Bad news for those of you who took the reigning champs the Bulls to win it, they have failed to even make the finals! OUCH!

Big pat on the back to those of you who selected McIlroy to win the US Open, sticking with him after his dog's breakfast of a last round at The Masters was a big call, but he has paid back your faith.

Round of applause this week goes to Karrissa who has jumped 12 spots with some excellent tipping in recent weeks.

The Half Moon Bay boys continue their charge up the ladder and now find themselves in the top 10.

Dane Miller has shrugged off his pedestrian start to be mid table after holding the rest of us up early in the piece.

Also special mention goes to Neale who is the first tipster to break 100 points, that being said, the amount of study this bloke does on sports he would want to be winning this thing!

Oh and if you see Mushy Mason around the traps be sure to give him a bit of a tap on the bum, maybe even a high 5, as he feels unappreciated in his tipping efforts this year. Love you Mushy!

Ladder as of 16/6/2011

People of the Yeahmatego,

Well the Ice Hockey has finished the same way as the basketball, only one tipster was able to select the winner. Well done Stevie Dean! With that victory Stevie was able to jump 6 spots up the ladder, also flexing some muscle were the boys from Half Moon Bay, jumping a massive 11 spots up the ladder with the Heat and Canucks. It just goes to show that it only takes a few good tips and you can start to climb the ladder, so those of you towards the bottom, don't give up just yet.

Of the 29 events we are tipping on this year, only 9 have finished! This means you have had the chance at 135 points so far.

It also means that there is still 285 points still available! so don't loose hope just yet, this is a marathon, not a sprint!

I have realised that I have not revealed what your playing for yet, I apologise.

1st - $400 + "Yeahmatego - I Know Boats" t-shirt

2nd - $200

3rd - $100

4th - $20

10th - $20

20th - $20
