Spoilers for Wednesday June 20th 2012 (Series 66 Prelim 112)

Post by Jordan F »

Well, we've come to the last regular prelim of the series. It's also the possible coronation day for Jonathan Rawlinson, as he has a chance to becomes the 4th octochamp of the series, as well as the sixth ever person to get all eight conundrums if he manages to score there. Win or lose, we'll finally know Jonathan's seeding and opponent after this show. Details:

Any loss: Will become the number 4 seed and play Nick Hall next Tuesday.
Win with a score of 51 or less: Will become the number 3 seed and play Victoria James next Monday.
Win with a score between 52 and 68: Will become the number 2 seed and play Mark Murphy this Friday.
With with a score of 69 or more: Will become the number 1 seed and play Rob Gibney this Thursday.

Also as a note, I will be having surgery on Thursday (Nothing too big, just repairing a hernia), so while I will be posting spoilers for Thursday and Friday, they will both be posted on Wednesday evening.

Join James for his last prelim recap of the series later.

Well done, Jonathan, on becoming an octochamp, an excellent set of games. 8-)

The three big guns are all safely through to the quarters. :)

Very well done Jonathan, I have no complaints about losing number one seed to you. It's a shame you tired towards the end but 850 is still an excellent total.

Supremely well done, Jonathan. 850 points is some achievement and becoming only the 6th person to get all 8 conundrums in your heats as well is some feat.

Hopefully, we'll see you back on top class form for your quarter tomorrow. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

METOPE in round 3 and ATRIUM in round 11.

Congratulations, Jonathan. Great run, and great octototototal. Look forward to seeing you again in the quarter final tomorrow.

Fun fact: Jonathan is only the sixth player to get eight out of eight conundrums (the last was Daniel Pati), and only the sixth player to get a word disallowed for it not being written down (the last was Daniel Pati).

We clearly need to know the other five now that you've both said that. (Well four, since you've mentioned Daniel Pati.)

To save Graeme a post, before Daniel we had Harvey Freeman, David Williams, Julian Fell, and Kai Laddiman.
