September (fine, December — the metaphor stays) opened with an upset: Post Chubb Depression 148.4, tim7w 125.65. The six seed, in the finals off a 7-7 season and a 59-point week, eliminated the club that started 6-0. tim7w's brilliant nameless season ends in the first week of finals; the Gazette suggests the trophy cabinet remain equally unlabelled.
In the other semi-elimination... thing, Push Tush made their case emphatically: 177.5 to MaHomie's 118.15, the second-highest score of the season, at the perfect time. The prelims are set: Kempsey v Push Tush, JackinGoff v Post Chubb. The byes now have to actually play.
