 | Mark O'Regan Hi Andy, for Option 2, would the idea be to max just 1 round to get the lowest possible score? |
| Andy SC @Mark - In this tournament it's up to the players as to how they play the game based on the three scoring options each round. |
 | Adam Latchford gone all in |
 | Tom Cappleman Surely all-in is scoring 0? |
| Adam Latchford i've read it as me having to max at least one round but you're probably right! |
 | Adam Dexter I think a 0 would result in an #N/A and destroy the spreadsheet if not the world. |
| Adam Latchford hey nobody else has the cojones to follow me into battle and get a 0 so far. There's also not been an option 2 since day 2 so we're due and that's definitely how randomising numbers works |
| Tom Cappleman Does repeated mean consecutive, or just at all? So 775 counts either way, but does 757 count? |
| Andy SC @Tom - If option 3 is the scoring method, 775 and 757 are both fine. As long as the same number appears twice in the target it doesn't matter what order they are in. |
 | Ben Bazzard @Adam - I've gone for it! |
| Andy SC Option 2 was the scoring method used for this round. Scores based on that method are as follows:
|
| Andy SC Top 5 after Round 9 are:
|
| Adam Latchford YEAH BABYYYYYYYYYY |
 | Fi Thorne Fortune favours the brave! |
 | David Holmes It also slightly favours those who are just crap at numbers :-) |
| Tom Cappleman I'll take that - hedged my bets by maxing all the ones with repeated numbers, so would have had same score with option 3 |
 | Dave Kempshall Yes, very shrewd Tom. I struggled to find a strategy that covered every option to a degree. |

 | Andres S. Insane move from chance |
| Sarah Binns Did pretty well in that just by being crap at numbers |
 | Dan Spinks absolutely gutted, thought I'd only scored 128 but got screwed over by an impossible target. lesson learned not to pick 6 small |
| Tom Cappleman At least it's scored based on the targets not the declarations Dan - otherwise you'd have a spectacular total! |
| Dan Spinks yeah, that would be impressive. I tried to declare 0118 999 881 999 119 7253 but it converted it |
