Jack only had four wins - he lost against Matt Bayfield in the heats.

In R11, dictionary corner's offering of CULTURA^ is valid in Spanish. It's not in ODE3. Karen was reprising her perennial Rafael Nadal impression by giving a Spanish word.

And for anyone wondering about the validity of LARDARSE^ in R8, the only acceptable spelling in ODE3 is LARDASS.

In the 3rd numbers, I actually did ((10 - 2) x 100) + (50 / 25), but in fairness, we weren't asked.

I'll get all the rest up later.

People can spell their name as they wish, Ann likes to spell it without the E.

Cool, my game vs Rich priest was a max game.

As the selections are same do we need to do recaps for all our individual ones?

Recaps for individual ones, because people do different stuff.

Now we move onto the finals stages.

After the points tallies had been added up, I had somehow got top spot, giving me the #1 seed status.

So, my quarter-final was against, the #8 seed, Stewart Gordon, who I'd faced at the last 2 tournaments.
