Re: CoC Quarter-Final 3 Spoilers For Monday January 18th 2016
I don't know the outcome but from the stats/probabilities Jen will beat Dan and the winner of Dylan and Giles (probably Dylan) will win the event! I'm hoping the Countdown team also fudge the first round so we start with a nice 18-18 start for the final, and hopefully an ambulance or two too please?...

The reason they have a rule on having three keepers is exactly the same thinking as having teams from a spread of 5 or 6 continents... It gives all a chance to play not just the superstars!
Crap teams compete in the finals as well as lower ranked squad members including the less-thought-of keepers.
