You actually look a lot like my brother.. although he doesn't wear glasses. But I do. So in a way, you're a cross between the two of us.

Jason:

Just send me your photo somehow and I will make the necessary size alterations and send it back to you.

Jon O'Neill

That is ridiculously cool.

Jon O'Neill

Dinos would've won. The rule is to accept any valid answer.

The first of our semi-finals pits the number and train specialist Kirk Bevins with Producer extraordinaire Damian Eadie. I'm excited. Pant-wettingly excited.

It's that time again folks.

Jon O'Neill

I think that will be too many games for one night. I'd like to get the Plate QFs done before Wednesday or Thursday, ideally, to give the best chance of an unprecedented double finals night on Sunday. Sorry bro.

Jon O'Neill

Correct. The plate is now filled. Cheers for playing Rich, see you at CONOT hopefully.

Jon O'Neill

It's definitely not there.

Jon O'Neill

The draw for the SFs is on Sunday, along with the draw for the Plate QFs. I'll try and get the QFs and SFs of the Plate done for a big banging finals night on July 20th.

I'm hosting the finals btw, for fuck sake. It's my tournament.

Jon O'Neill

Karen Pearson 54-95 Jon Corby

Unlucky Karen. You might think from those draws that I am harbouring some vendetta against you.. well I'm not.. I'm just sorry!

Jon O'Neill

I think it's just me and you, right? Well, I'm fine with it.

Otherwise I will have to withdraw.

Sunday is within the deadline, so that will be fine.

Good luck!

Jon O'Neill

My guess is that it never has, and never will, happen.

This doesn't work - I just got really confused.

I've done it now though:

(7+50/25)*(75+4)+100

Charlie, you're GAWN.
Jono, you're in the Plate QF. And you're beautiful, no matter what they say.
WP guys, thanks for hosting Dan.

Matthew Green wrote:ooooh... exciting. Why do we get a bye? Is it random or was it because of our losing scores?

No, I drew them from the hat. You guys' three names were first out.

Jon O'Neill

I'm only allowed ten options. Time for a bit of a changeup.

Jon O'Neill

Remember to let me know straight away if you're having problems contacting people. The forum PM system is probably the best method I can think of. Again, good luck all!

Jon O'Neill

The draw has taken place!! As for Plate drop-outs -- I have left everyone in the draw in case you suddenly become available before the deadline, which is Sunday 13th July . I've marked those players with a *. Same format as ever! As there are thirteen players remaining in the plate, three byes are a...

Just gauging.

That's what I thought on reading the title. A happy coincidence.

Jon O'Neill

I can post them this evening, about 6PM, if you like.

Jon O'Neill

I'm the same re: blindfolds. In fact I usually spend half the round looking into space because the letters distract me from the word forming that goes on. Same with conundrums.

Can't do numbers blindfolded. I'm shite at that.

Paul Howe 108–95 Jon Corby

Good stuff guys.

How is 6.15 tomorrow (Wednesday) for you?

Hahahaha

BANG!

Jon O'Neill

I'll have a grand on Corby at 6, and a sneaky tenner on RB at 16.

Jon O'Neill

I did the same thing, before Charlie. Can I come to watch the CoC recorded now?

Jon O'Neill

Good stuff Martin, I'll send you a PM nearer the time.

The final result from the preliminary round: Jon Corby 108-99 Ben Pugh By my reckoning, Corby won 101-92 after he declared the crucial conundrum on 28 seconds!

Jon O'Neill

The second round draw is on Sunday at 10 or 11 in the evening. If you're online I will invite you to it.

Jon O'Neill

I've never known them to be pre-determined, even though that would be a better idea. You are correct.

Jon O'Neill

Given that the playing field was level, I would like to think they'd carry on anyway. If any snooker player is a yellow-specialist, I would like to think they'd reconsider. Our playing field was level. If any of the losers can make a convincing claim at being an O-specialist, I might reconsider.

Jon O'Neill

O, I thought Matt was joking.

O's or no O's, no results are changing.

Note that some people may prefer not to know the outcome before reading the recap. This occurred to me, yes, but I had a good reason for not thinking it mattered (which escapes me now...).

Good game guys! Thanks for the recap and cheers for hosting Jason.

Jon O'Neill

Just to clear up.. the plate is for players who are knocked out in the preliminary round (i.e. this one) and the last 16. It doesn't get you back into the main tournament (it's not a double knockout tournament) but it does give those who are unfortunate to show what they're really made of. Cheers fo...

All matches are requried to have a recap of this detail or you are ejected from the tournament.

Well done Richard, you're through to the next round.

Commiserations Raccoon, you are through to the Plate qualifiers.

Jon O'Neill

It's easiest to learn on MSN Messenger. I'm usually about. If not, Ben Wilson will help you out.

Jon O'Neill

Edit to say: Jono you didn't specify it above, but do all the prelim games have to be 15 rounds? Not that it affects me, but it'd make sense to be consistent throughout the tournament that's all. Yep, all games are over 15 rounds. To those above confused about how it all works: don't panic, you can...

"Probably definite"? Anyway, as long as Amey Deshpande is invited for purely sentimental reasons, I will be satisfied. Otherwise, I'm never watching Countdown again. Although I did say that about Joseph Bolas in the last CoC, and I went back on my word that time. Who knows?

Jon O'Neill

And only a month behind schedule! Just had an entry from Dan Van.

Well in lads. Very entertaining stuff!
