Sarah M I wasn't sure of the rules here, sorry. Did you have to use all 8 letters? If so I did terribly, so sorry everyone again :(

Perry Sarb

Perry Sarb I'd say you did just fine Sarah :) Actually you've scored higher than a fair few people here. It's only a shame we're not allowed to swap players, otherwise I'd pick you for our team

Trevor MacEoin

Trevor MacEoin Your score is above average for the team so well done Sarah.

Damian McEvoy Anthony! Ravi(2)! Maus! Where *are* you? Let's be having you! :-)

Ravi Choudhary Today, 3 people were left to play their OLA games - myself, Thomas and Anthony.

Thomas posted 121, increasing 15V's average (117.92 to 118.14) and keeping the lead over Triple A+ (at the time 117.47).

This meant that had myself and Anthony chose NOT to play our remaining OLA games, 15V would still be the victors, with Anthony going straight to the Boardroom
(Triple A+: 1762/16 = 110.13;
15V: 1654/15 = 110.27).

(Had Thomas scored 3 fewer points, Triple A+ would be in the driving seat, forcing me to play before Anthony, with Anthony chasing down a target for victory.)

Ravi Choudhary As it is, Anthony had to play, and he put up a score of 109. It did drag down Triple A+'s average (to 116.94), but the difference was very miniscule.

That left me with a target of 101 points to chase and to lead 15V to victory on this task.

Even though the approach was to play it safe, the pressure was immense from beginning to end, and it meant playing this game too safe - turning down Plait for Flap in Round 12 and Ducats for Study in Round 14.

Fortunately for 15V, the task was won when Valet was given in Round 19, scoring 106 pts in my 2nd game, and dragging the average down to 117.33.

For Triple A+ to win this task, Anthony would've needed to score 116, a difference of 7 points.

Martin Thomas

Martin Thomas Andy had the lowest score in the Boardroom.

Therefore, thank you for playing but

👉 Andy, you're fired!
