Winter Interclub Statistics after Week 11 (Aug 7-8)

The results up to last week (Week 11, Aug 7-8) are here:

Teams: 2012 Winter Week 11 TEAMS

Individuals: 2012 Winter Week 11 INDIVIDUALS

There are only a few week left before the finals night and some close match-ups are still to go, so 1st and 2nd placings for teams are still up for grabs. Note that finals night will be September 11, i.e. two weeks after the last regular draw week #14 (finals night was originally scheduled for 4/9 but this clashed with the Secondary Schools championships in Auckland which are that week and affects some likely finalists).

NB: The draws are here.
