I usually rate foreign games 5, as I think they're generally more impressive, because you have to do the same thing as with English but in a second language. Unless they're especially good, English games usually get 4s. Sorry Kirk

Matthew 'Le' Tassier 160 - 130 Kai Laddiman

Cheers for the game and good luck next round.

Cheers for the games.

Yes, Michael, I was referring to the sport Aussie Rules football. It has the scores the other way round, so unlike English football, an Aussie Rules football score might be:

49 - 123

Instead of:

1 - 0

But how can you have 123 wickets?

No, Jon, that's Australian scoring. They have the runs and the wickets the other way round, you see?

Another draw-win for me: Kai Laddiman 150 - 150 James Doohan

It was a real injustice for James; he didn't even see the conundrum.

Haha, I didn't notice how low my Pro Rank is, but I'm glad of it.

You're right, Innis is less than 3, so you've still got 2 rivals to pick.

I have sent a 'request' (specified my birthday) but the blue box still displays at the top of the page. Is this deliberate? If so, fair enough.

Also, will this mean you will be able to filter Pro Ranks by age bracket? Awesome!

Lost on a tie-break hyper conundrum to Kai! Since it's a league should that count as a draw? ;) Kai Laddiman 170 - 160 Gevin Chapwell It will go down as a win for Kai but the result will be 160-160 (Before anyone asks, yes, I am making this up as I go along).

It's surprising (to me) that so few people on here can swim. I really enjoy swimming, and I used to swim for a club. (Not that I'm any good or anything.)

One question though: apart from the two obvious places (the forum entry linked from the database and the wiki page), is the data entered into the recapper stored anywhere else?

That reminded me of the Irregular Plurals page. A few other irregular plurals I've noticed that aren't there are AMBON - AMBONES, TELAMON - TELAMONES, NOPAL - NOPALES etc.

Actually I suppose generating a list of those would be really hard.

Brilliant idea, if it's run as smoothly as you've organised it so far I'd step over my grandma's grave to enter the Duel on Saturday*.

Sorry if I've misunderstood everyone's ideas, but I couldn't think of a better way of sorting it than A1 vs B1 etc. Also, this tourney has dragged on for so long people are probably getting bored of it, so a knockout would just prolong the boredom.

It's odd how possibly 3 of the greatest Countdowners ever have turned against each other. Makes for good reading though.
