Adam Gillard - Ryan Taylor. That had an air of inevitability about it.

Haha. I can assure you these pairings are completely random.

Division A:

Innis Carson, new Speedgoat high score holder and all round legend - 2
Eoin Monaghan - 1

Game 1: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 1833355094 131-108

This is proof of how the conundrums win games, with Innis getting all 3, I scored in all letters rounds (not risking DECLARER) but Innis' speed and skill won this for him. No surprise then.

Game 2: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 0437958534 115-125

This was a bit of a shocker (like the Happenings page says). This time it was I who won 2 out of 3 conundrums with me getting the upper hand on 2 consecutive letters rounds. I didn't rick COWPATS either. Game on here.

Game 3: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 0714228495 126-115

This was another tight game we were neck and neck right up to the last conundrum which Innis managed to unravel 6.3 seconds to win the contest. I did much better than I expected but Innis' conundrum skill was top notch.

Thank you very much for the games Innis, they were a joy and pleasure as always.

Oh, and I'm still on no points.

That's kind of irrelevant when you just said

Thank you very much for the games Innis, they were a joy and pleasure as always.

A good contest though.

[Adam Gillard]

Adam Gillard 73 - 72 Ryan Taylor

Ryan Taylor 82 - 91 Adam Gillard

Two closely fought, well mannered games. In the second game we each spotted a 9 that the other missed, which led to a crucial final conundrum (but Ryan needed 10 points, so couldn't wait for the extra letter).

Thanks for the games Ryan.

I really wanted to win this match.

Kai 2-1 Hugh. I stole the first game but was convincingly beaten in the other two games.

TBF there isn't much about Ryan that's worth complimenting.

Ohhh it's all coming out now that there's miles of ocean between us. Judas!

You're the sort of person who would eat an apple from a tree EVEN AFTER GOD SAID NOT TO.

I don't think "la la la you don't exist so I can't hear you telling me not to eat this apple" is a defence, tbh.
