Okay, the International Jury and the Organizers have come to an agreement to hold back round 5 for an hour to let the track dry out. We had rain last night and the track is pretty wet.

You probably have the results for the first 4 rounds, but just in case, here's what I got: So after 4 rounds, we have a point tie for the top position with Masami having an edge over Hayato due to a faster finishing time on his best result. This greatly affects round 5 because of the rain, because Masami is in heat 10 and in round 5, the heat order is 9, 10, 1, 2 to 8. While Hayato's heat is heat 8, if I remember correctly. So the above delay would greatly level out the round 5 results and would be a lot fairer. That is why the International Jury and the Organizers agreed to it.

So after 4 rounds here is the top rankings
1. Masami Japan 308 pts
2. Hayato Japan 308 pts
3. Mike Truhe USA 307 pts
4. Ryan Maifield USA 307 pts
5. Ryan Cavalieri USA 304 pts
6. Tebo USA 301 pts
7. Masatsugu Japan 300 pts
8. Hiroshi Japan 297 pts
9. Paul Bradby Great Britain 296 pts
10. Lee martin Great Britain 296 pts
