Yes I can do 6pm and I look forward to hosting my 3rd COOT match . My msn address is posted in this thread if anyone hasn't already got it and wishes to spectate this game.
Hi Jason - probably won't be able to get on at 7pm, that's a little early for me. Oh well, I'll just go online when I can, and see who's around... there's bound to be someone who can host us Ben...
All the best to the players playing this evening. Hoping to get along to watch, but not sure I'll be able to make it.
Good luck also to everyone in the next round. I definitely won't be able to see any of those games, as I'll be in the Austrian Alps for a fortnight, but I may well catch the scores from time to time.
Hoping to be back in time for the first round of the Plate competition, but as I've said already to Jono, if I don't make the cut-off date for my first match, then I'll have to forfeit my place.
Just to say that I won my game 93 - 65. I know James is not experienced with MSN Messenger and I think that contributed, and also can people avoid sending messages between the rounds, as that makes the letters and numbers move upwards! Also one request would be that there's a pause given between the numbers and the target so people can write them down. You get ages to write down the letters, and no time to write down the numbers.
But anyway, thanks for the game and everything went smoothly apart from James' connection! I'm looking forward to the next round's draw today, and we'll have to see if Heather will turn up or not.

If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

No problem Martin. I will make sure I give you time to write down the numbers next time I host any game. But, I can't be held responsible for when some people talk between letters but I will do my best to quell it next time . Very well played by the way
Can two qualifiers face up against each other? Or are the seeds and the qualifiers separated like in Wimbledon so two high quality players wont meet at such an earlier stage in the tourny with one of them guaranteed to exit at such an early stage. Also, it would mean that one less-a-like player is guaranteed a quarter final berth if two qualifiers are drawn against each other (no disrespect to any qualifiers because I'm a qualifier too )?
So what is it to be Jono? Random draw or seeded protected draw?

Well, you're probably a more reliable source than Ben Wilson. Thank you. I shall amend it.
I would wait until Corby has posted the recap and that will clarify the score . I did get mixed up at one stage of the game so I may be wrong about 101-92

Well Corby is right. I forgot to add on the 7 points each from the last numbers game because I was busy preparing the crucial conundrum . My bad Jono. Just to clarify the 108-99 score is correct and sorry for messing you around
