The current standings are here
With the two remaining ACT League events (the ACT Middle Distance Championships and the ACT Long Distance Championships), over the weekend of 31 August- 1 September, having 10 per cent bonus points (max points 138) and the best six events to count, there could many changes in the order of the top six by the end of the competition.
The ACT Long Distance Championships are also the second and final leg of the Bennelong Cup competition, between the ACT and NSW which is based on the respective Long Distance Championships. The ACT is the current holder of the cup and well-placed to retain the trophy based on the scores after the NSW Long Distance Championships in May when the points were NSW 28.5 and ACT 11.5. The competition strongly favours the home team.
So, everybody needs to remember to enter both events on Eventor before entries close on Sunday 25 August.
