After 7 prelims, Antoinette Ryan is going for the title of octochamp, and she would be the sixth of the series. And rather than me explain Antoinette's potential seedings, I'm going to quote Fred's summary of it from yesterday:

"If she loses or wins with no more than 47 points, she's #6.
A win with 48 to 85 points, she's #5.
86 to 97 points, she's #4.
98 to 110, she's #3.
111 to 195, she's #2.
196 or over, #1. Could happen."

I will add who she'll face, however. if she is 6, she plays Mark Davies. If she is 5 or 4, she plays George Ford. If she is 3, she plays Laurence Killen. If she is 2, she plays David Stanford. Let's see what happens.

Join Anthony for the recap later.

SCUTAGE in R1

526 is gettable but not by me saddly

RUMOURED in R12

Go Antoinette! Hope she makes the final.

Very well done Antoinette, 859 is a very impressive total, must feel good to get number 2 seed also. I already thought this was going to be a strong finals, now even more so with Antoinette's presence.

Cracking octorun and enjoyable to watch throughout, congrats Antoinette! Really enjoyed this series when I've been able to watch - good mix of strong Apterites and strong non-Apterites, should make finals very interesting. Only problem is, there are too many people I like in it and only one person can win

Many congrats on making the finals and being an octochamp, Antoinette. Excellent set of games there.

Yes. What the others have said. Very good run and you did well to sneak up to number two with it being very tight from 2 to 5.

Very well done Antoinette! A great octorun from a great player.

Many congrats!

And apologies for shouting "what the fuck are you doing?" at the screen when you went for 6 small in R3.

Well done on a cracking octochamp run Antoinette, going to be a very exciting finals

Excellent display Antoinette. .proud of you and from a selfish point of view, nice to see a rep of Ireland presence in the finals..rooting for you even though there are a lot of likeable people in the finals..It will be exciting to watch

Well done, Antoinette, a brilliant run of games and I look forward to seeing you in the quarters on Thursday.

HISTONE in round 2, SALVOES in round 5 and INDRAWN in round 11.

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 + 8) x 5) - (10 / (9 - 4)) = 538
4th Numbers Alt.: (100 - (3 - (10 / 5))) x 9 = 891

Thought I had RAINCOVER as an equaller in round 15 but it's not valid.

Yes, I didn't get CARNIVORE at all, and assumed the answer was RAINCOVER until it was revealed.

Congratulations, Antoinette. Great run.

Well done Antoinette. Fantastic run and richly deserved total.

Does anyone who was there know what Rachel was laughing and shaking her head about in the 2nd numbers game?

Congratulations, Antoinette. I really enjoyed your eight games.

Best of luck in the knockout stages.

Well done Antoinette on a fantastic set of games and good luck for the finals.
