Should be a pretty epic game.

I can see the studio crumbling today and the clock falling down.

Unless I'm mistaken (hopefully James will confirm) we should have a very good idea of the line up for the finals today.

If Scott wins Claudia is safe as Scott or anyone else can't win enough before the series ends and if Dom wins today he will probably be in because even if he loses tomorrow he'll almost certainly score the 102 points he'll need to overtake Claudia in two games.

OK, let's put it like this.

You're more or less correct, Douglas (for once).

If Scott wins, the finals are sorted.

The quarter-finals (which begin a week today) would be:

Oliver Garner v Claudia Tyson
Danny Pledger v Nicki Sellars
Dave Wilkinson v Lee Graham
Peter Zyss v Craig Chittenden

Then the semis would be:

OG/CT v PZ/CC
DP/NS v DW/LG

Then the final in 15 days time would be:

OG/PZ/CC/CT v DP/DW/LG/NS

Although, if Dominic wins today, he would put himself well in the frame to get into the finals.

So, pretty exciting stuff. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

Maybe I'm missing something, but which bit is Douglas not entirely correct about?

Irrelevant now, but had Scott started one show earlier and done enough to get into the finals with 6 wins unbeaten, would he have gone into them in this series, carried over to the next, or had a choice?

COAMING was missed by DC 2 Mondays ago, rather than being pencammed.

Much simpler 2nd numbers:

((4 x 9) - 3) x 10 = 330

Perhaps, for variety, Rachel could show off her cleavage or a bit of bare back !

There's me thinking that SLOGANED was OK in round 12. :oops:

Nice opener Scott, some solid work.

3rd Numbers Alt: ((10 + 6) x 8) + 5 - 1 = 132

Very impressive performance, Scott.

And as mentioned above, the series finals are now set. 8-)

Is it just me or does Scott look really like our favourite Yorkshire based, usual spoilers thread starter?

Excellent ton debut, Scott 8-). Hopefully you can keep it up to become an octochamp.

Hard lines, Dom.

Really well played, Scott. :)

It was good to see somebody getting into three figures again, too.

This selection came up in my audition BLOKIESTY (not in that order) and I tried BLOKIEST, as did series 62 contestant Chris Bell. I put the selection through a solver when I got back and saw I could have had KILOBYTES and OBELISK. Thankfully I spotted OBELISKS today and knew BLOKIEST was invalid.

So far, none. I just think what everyone else is saying.

Btw, fantastic today Scott. Ton debut and some nice words in there. Well played.

The beauty of practice. Nice debut, Scott, well played. DC beater with SOMEWAY in round 2.
