Spoilers For Thursday June 10th 2010
So, the waiting's almost over, the World Cup is about to commence in South Africa. But, before that minor event commences, an even bigger event is about to start.
I give you the Series 62 Finals.
Today, as by tradition, is the first of the quarter-finals. The match-up is No.1 Seed Oliver Garner vs. No.8 Seed Claudia Tyson.
Back by popular demand are the stats:-
Firstly, No.1 Seed Oliver Garner - 8 Wins, 802 Points
Highest Score: 115 vs. Wendy Trigg (6th Game)
Lowest Score: 81 vs. Mark Goodliffe (8th Game)
9's Achieved: 3/4
Conundrum Success: 3/8
Secondly, No.8 Seed Claudia Tyson - 6 Wins, 545 Points
Highest Score: 87 vs. Cecilia Pipe (3rd Game) & Steve Pothecary (6th Game)
Lowest Score: 53 vs. Chris Jones (7th Game)
9's Achieved: 0/1
Conundrum Success: 1/7
I'll be back with the recap later.

OUTLANDER, how did everyone miss it, or did I make a mistake?

I think RESORBED was there as a beater in the round where they declared BORDERS.

Yep (CF made me look this up because it was one of his occasional "I only know this because of medicine" spots which there's no guarantee will be in).Josh Hurst wrote:I think RESORBED was there as a beater in the round where they declared BORDERS.

Ryan Taylor 123 - 105 Oliver Garner
Thankfully you weren't against a better opponent as you may have been punished by some misses. That said, it was still a good performance with a 9 and a nice 123 score, so well done!

Lol just read this. Just being honest, I know yourself you will have been disappointed by OUTLANDER. With all that said I really can't see anyone beating you. Craig is the only one who IMO will come close.Oliver Garner wrote:JUST RUIN MY EVENING WON'T YOURyan Taylor wrote:Ryan Taylor 123 - 105 Oliver Garner

Re: Spoilers For Thursday June 10th 2010
I did see OUTLANDER, but didn't think it was in. None of the contestants/forumites present were sure so we looked it up on Peter Zyss's laptop, which told us it was in. At the same time, Damian decided that it definitely wasn't in (presumably because he was disappointed that he missed it). During today's (Friday's) game, Damian told Susie to tell Nicky and Danny that actually it was good, who told the rest of us.Ryan Taylor wrote: Lol just read this.

Well done to Oliver for finishing 3rd in division B at the Brighton and Hove Scrabble tournament on Sunday too. People were genuinely afraid of playing him, especially those who know him from Countdown.

I would've done that if I'd known.
