Theyve got the tables and draws at bottom of Week 5 now

Naomi has got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place which would give her $3k of appearance fees, plus $5k, $3.5k and $3k ie $14.5k in total, so my fag packet was clearly wrong!!

Only the top ten though. I have all of them, with prize money biggrin

Yayy!

I wonder what the players outgoings are as well? Ie presumably those not within travelling distance have to have accommodation, is that paid for? Presumably meals are provided at the club and things like physios and massages are on site? Presumably the big cost is lodging?

I see the OOP is out early for tomorrow. I'll wait for TA to do the usual rankings included, but Holly vs Victoria seems the most significant match. Another win for Holly and she should be almost there. A bit more complex if Victoria wins because she has a more live match against Erin on Friday, but she'd be in the driving seat.

I can't see it yet on the page I am using. I'll check back later.

Accommodation, meals and any travel expenses are covered by the player. So given the clubs is in Surrey, accommodation in that neck of the woods does not come cheap.

$1000 dollars appearance money per week will help a lot with that !

Looking at the standings, one would have to say that Nadia Rawson is looking most likely to secure a qualies place this week, probably Freya Christie as well, despite not playing.

The worst that Nadia is likely to finish this week is 8th, giving another 5 points, so I would say she's safely in to the Classic week. Should win today, and then Naomi tomorrow.

The lack of clarity has been a bit of a feature (and issue) in these weeks, it makes it hard for fans like us to really know what's going on. We still don't really know what the official tie breaker system is - I just assumed it was H2H, Alice had the H2H adv by beating both Nadia and Emily Ap last week, and they all finished on 9 points, but seemingly group matches won was the main differentiator, so we unexpectedly (to me anyway) saw Nadia in the semi final, when I was expecting Alice. Or unless H2H was taken away when its a 3 way tie, but again, we're not really any wiser.

Plus, we still don't know if it's 9 + 3 WC, or 10 + 2 to make the Classic. Freya is extremely likely to qualify anyway because it's really hard to see a Holly or a Vic Allen winning the title here, but if it was 10 + 2 then she'd be confirmed through already, regardless of what happens later this week.

They seem to just generally give as little info as possible, maybe because some of it is just made up on the spot, but it's not great for those of us who are so used to stats, charts, permutations etc. I personally like things mapped out, so I know exactly what's going on, and what players need to do in certain situations, and I'm sure I won't be the only one.

Well at least they are posting the tables on the website now - something they didn't (and didn't want) to do at the beginning. I queried this via twitter ages ago, so am pleased they have finally got their act together (almost !)

Sadly it has taken almost to the end of the 5 week qualifying series to get to this stage!
