am I not right in thinking that if this guy goes on to win all his games he'll have won game 7 as the last of the series? (I'm basing this on thinking the first quarter final is next thursday, you see)

I read elsewhere on the forums that the finals begin on June 12th which, if correct, would leave 8 further shows after today.

Just realised that it's only Thursday today (not Friday), so that makes it 9 more preliminary games until the quarter-finals.

The ODE defines STAPELIA as a succlent African plant with large star-shaped fleshy flowers that have bold markings and a fetid carrion-like smell, which attracts pollinating flies.
