21 people attended, including a few debutants, such as Steve Turvey, who people might remember as Marcus Hares' 1st victim on his octochamp run.
I'm sure the others will fill in bits later, but here's the basics.
After the first 3 heats, the #1 seed was some guy called James Robinson, who scored 329 points, and was the only contestant to score 3 centuries. The only others who got 3 wins out of 3 in the first part were Josh Hurst, Matt Bayfield and Joseph Krol. The other 4 quarter-finalists were Jack Hurst, Mike Brown, Richard Priest and Stewart Gordon.
In the QF's, the odd seeds all won their games, so the semi-finalists were Robinson, Jack Hurst, Rich and Matt.
In the semis, Jack swept aside Matt, while James just scraped through a low-scoring nip-tuck battle with Rich. Rich would then beat Matt in the 3rd place play-off.
So, the final was between the still unbeaten James Robinson and Jack Hurst, whose only loss was right at the start to Matt.
James took an early lead with GEISHA, and in a closely-fought contest where the letters and numbers were shared out, with the early exception, but Jack clinical conundrum solving skills made him the winner by 106 points to 92.
It was another brilliant event, and I'm sure they'll be some recaps and pics available in due course.
Unlucky
