Round 9: L O V E L Y G I N

The third consecutive -ING conundrum strikes as a bit straightforward for the CofC tourney, but an entertaining game nonetheless, if not as close a finish as the previous two. Both contestants played well but a few unlucky errors proved costly for Phil.
In the final quarter it's Barry Grossman, Champion of Series 21, up against Series 22's Robert Teuton.

Oddly enough, in CofC VII, all four quarter-finals also had -ING conundrums. Wonder when that stopped.Jacob Sutton wrote:The third consecutive -ING conundrum strikes as a bit straightforward for the CofC tourney...
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.
