 | Martin Long Normal numbers round against Plum for round 8. Man, this tournament is sadistic this year Mr Tassier! |
 | Matthew Tassier Yep, tricky indeed, but at least a familiar challenge which helps sneak it in earlier than might otherwise be the case ... also I guess sadism is part of my job here! |
| Matthew Tassier Making light of a tough challenge, top scorers this round on 197 were Elliott and the Strongest Link, Jack. Meanwhile Sam C does enough to take over as the top cumulative points scorer. |
| Matthew Tassier At the other end of this round's scoreboard the bottom 3 didn't have a chance of scoring 197 as there were some very low-max games out there, M.S.R's in particular having a max of only 171. Jason T. becomes the lowest scoring Normal survivor finishing just a point clear of Damian. Damian, Dan S and M S R you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Damian McEvoy Thanks for all Matthew, marvellous fun as ever |
