4. In the event of a draw for 1st position at the completion of the match and competition, the tie-breaker question will be used to determine an outright winner. Given the nature of that question, the closest answer will be deemed the outright winner if no one gets the correct answer.

Tip & Run - Winners

Congratulations to the following teams for taking out first prize for each edition of Tip & Run:

• MacGills Marching Powder was level with four other teams after the first test on 9/13 but his tiebreaker question guess of 867 runs was just shy of the actual 889 total.
• Little Monsters was the outright leader at the end of the second Test in Adelaide with a score of 12/14.
• The Boxing Day Test saw eleven teams tied on 8/10 at the end. It came down to the tiebreaker question which saw SAB's guess of 800 runs closest to the tiny 520 total.
• Marcorna Barbarians finished outright first with a solid 9/10 for the Sydney Test. The only question he got incorrect was the top English run scorer for the match.
