Round 9: S L I C K V O T E

C2 buzzes on 11.25 seconds to say LIVESTOCK which is correct.
Score: 50–67 (max 67) 8-)

This is the first, and so far, only perfect game in a series finals. It is also the only televised imperfect perfect game. In that I mean, that because Allan got 3 away in the first numbers game, and the nearest was 1 away, he would have lost the perfect game, if someone declared 891.
