I don't think it's fair to slate the challenger for picking 4 large, that's his perogative. Due to some difficult numbers and lack of nines before today, Chris will need to average 122.6 in his remaining three games to topple Andrew as number one seed. Looks like an Innis v Chris semi is on the cards!

If he gets the last numbers spot on as well as the conundrum, Chris will need two 6s and a 7 to equal the second highest score in 15 rounds and two 7s and a 6 to beat it by one.
He can't equal or beat the record of 146 without another 9.
