Race to Finland
Final Standings

Here's how it looks with two weeks of preparation left but the field completed:

Antonin Iglar -- 13750

No doubt for some time who'd be #1.

Bjorn Benda -- 10380

Another excellent year, and no drama about the runner-up this season either.

Anil Mehul -- 6870
David Alvarez -- 6290

It's possible, though quite unlikely, that Mehul could lose the #3 spot. He and Alvarez will finish third and fourth though barring something highly unusual, and the difference means little in the grand scheme of things. He'll be stewing on that loss to Benda in the meantime, and will assuredly have a chance to get a bit of payback in Finland. It's a big opportunity to gain ground on the #2 spot, an opportunity that must not be wasted.

Perry Hogue -- 5160
David Almagro -- 5040
Viktor Goncharenko -- 5015

There's still no sign of Almagro's manager, so the Tour Finals may well be the last event he plays other than possible a WTC tie or two next year. He's so out of match shape that he will essentially be a walkover. A shame, sad way to go out for a fine player. Hogue and Goncharenko can jockey for position here but neither is likely to move up or down a whole lot.

Julian Hammerstein -- 4100
--------------------------------
Cestmir Marcek -- 4050
Pierce Gaskell -- 3615

Hammerstein just makes it in due to Marcek's early demise in Paris. Gaskell's late surge comes up short, but he'll be back next year. It's the second year in a row Marcek has been the best player left out, and it appears his career apex has passed. He may not get another chance, and the Austrian, despite highly questionable management, sneaks in for his debut.

However ...

Or so it seems. This may be a case where an intermittent, but just enough to be annoying, bug gums up the works. You see, every once in a while some of the small events are not tallied quite properly, I've made mention of this before. In this case, due to such an occurrence, Marcek is actually still listed as being 200 points ahead of Hammerstein. So, despite everything else that's been mentioned, if that calculation doesn't 'correct' -- I've checked it multiple times and verified my numbers -- we will have some controversy with Marcek making it in incorrectly.
