It's a Good Friday so let's see if the episode of Countdown is as good.

Presumably because it's not really fair to consider it part of someone's run, as it's giving someone another shot at an extra 10 points that other people wouldn't get.

Series 63 prelim 106 and 107 both add the extra points on to the player's score.Michael Wallace wrote:Presumably because it's not really fair to consider it part of someone's run, as it's giving someone another shot at an extra 10 points that other people wouldn't get.
So the rules seem to have changed for series 64?

Re: Spoilers for Good Friday 22 April 2011
And I read every thread when I have some assignments to do. Ideally Charlie should ban me from c4c and apterous and facebook (I'm sure he has the power) so that I actually do write something. Been sat in this chair finding other things to do for about 6 days now and no words have been written. Someone just asked me to pub tonight too which I'm going to take them up on. Is there a thread on procrastination already?Michael Wallace wrote:I read every thread when I'm spending a bank holiday waiting for my numbers to crunchRyan Taylor wrote:Yeah exactly.Michael Wallace wrote:Presumably because it's not really fair to consider it part of someone's run, as it's giving someone another shot at an extra 10 points that other people wouldn't get.

Unless I'm missing the point Tony, the scores do include the extra ten points, but those extra points aren't then carried forward when calculating the seedings (for reasons already explained).Tony Atkins wrote:In which case http://www.apterous.org/cdb/series.php?series=63 is wrong as it shows them

Re: Spoilers for Good Friday 22 April 2011
I listen to Town upstairs kicking the s**t out of MK Dons , then just when I think the day can't get any hotter, Rachel appears in that leopard dress.
Very sad that Mary has gone for now, she must have had end of day nerves.
PIROGEN in round 3, NAVAID in round 7, INCITERS in round 8 and DIADEMS in round 11.

Re: Spoilers for Good Friday 22 April 2011
That's because Ryan accidentally forgot to change Mary's 95 to 105. The recap writer doesn't bring up extra conundrums, so the scores have to be done manually and Ryan accidentally messed up.Tony Atkins wrote:The series 64 table http://www.apterous.org/cdb/series.php?series=64 shows the game as 95-95.Mike Brown wrote:Unless I'm missing the point Tony, the scores do include the extra ten points, but those extra points aren't then carried forward when calculating the seedings (for reasons already explained).Tony Atkins wrote:In which case http://www.apterous.org/cdb/series.php?series=63 is wrong as it shows them
