So, while the finals are being played out in Manchester, we've got to see the final 11 shows, before we know who will be contesting them.

Well, we already know 6 of them, and the current #7 seed, Andrew McNamara, is almost guaranteed a place, but who will take #8, currently occupied by Michelle Nevitt

Maybe Tom Barnes will go for broke and try and gatecrash the finals. A good score of 94 yesterday, but is he just a one-hit wonder

Join me later for the Robinson Recap.

ANTERIOR R3 (8)

First numbers game is indeed impossible. Whilst trying to get it spot on, I discovered the more amusing ((75-2-9)*25)/(100/50) to get 800.

Another good game Tom.
Well done

SYNCOPE to equal COYNESS - can't have plural, though

DRATTED in the RATTED round?

Yup, in the ODE3.

Surely multiply by the 50 first.

A very exceptional performance by Tom. Just pipped him in a couple of rounds, but very high quality.

SUPINATE in round 2 and NERVOUS and ONEROUS in round 11.

2nd Numbers Alt.: (((7 x 5) + 2) x 25) - 10 + 1 = 916
