Actually, the chance is now really whether Riders can catch the Stepsons. S-F won't get a top on 6 as the Italians want to advance and will only lose the top if they willingly give it away. If the Stepsons were eliminted on boards 28 and 6 they would lose 12 points, taking them to 403. Even topping one of their two boards would not give S-F enough to catch. The real nailbiter then is board 10. If Turkey dragged his carcas into a tie for 1st he'd pick up 12 points, up to 408 for the Riders. So, what Stepsons need to do is hang onto something on 6. If so, then 28 is cushion.
