Dylan Taylor now has a 6th win under his belt and could be on pace to break Giles' record. We'll see how both do after game 7 today.
Join James for the recap later.

Well done to Dylan for 13 max game - though I got DENIZENS but missed the one that DC missed in R2.

Well, you say stupidly but I think I've seen Americans themselves write it with one word rather than two, so it might be worth a stab

Indeedy do, I so thought soon as I saw it appear, since it was that appearance that made me aware of it for the first time.Kirk Bevins wrote:Good to see CULTIGEN making another appearance
Can't believe that show was 6 months ago now
Superb performance yet again, Dylan. Surely octochampdom and maybe that record beckons..............
NOTECARD in round 1, MAYPOLE in round 4 and EARSHOT in round 12.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday August 14th 2013 (Series 69 Preli
Dylan only needs 113 to break Giles's Octo-scoring record! Dylan also needs a record breaking 147 to reach 1,000! Will anyone EVER reach 1,000, as Dylan has - up to now - a commanding record % of his total max's, so far (at 92.22%), how good do you have to be to hit 1,000?
Maybe if Conor started afresh - right now - he would probably get close, but how many Conors and Dylans are there out there?

Typically, the max score for an entire octorun is around 1,000; some are even lower.

I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday August 14th 2013 (Series 69 Preli
An absolute top player, with no conundrum misses, plenty of 9s (at least 5 - probably more realistically 6 or more), no rounds dropped to the opposition and virtually no maxes missed with 1 or 2L in numbers for the entirety of their run, could probably scrape 1,000. It's probably possible for about 3 people who haven't gone on the show yet/will go on again (barring a 1100+ available max with an absolute tonne of 9s - even then, probably only a few more players who haven't gone on already would be capable of reaching it).

Did I see Nick go to Mike for first go at one of Dylan's numbers games? If so, I'm wondering if Nick noticed maybe Mike didn't write it down. Could have saved an embarrassing situation and wouldn't have affected the outcome of the game, so if so, well done Nick!

Dan McColm, James Nguyen and Rob Foster. Possibly Kevin Stoba as well for a fourth.

Dan McColm
Dan McColm
Dan McColm was a contestant in Series 64. He is an Apterite and a member of C4Countdown.

I know 2 and-a-half years is a long time for a young countdower, but he was hardly a world-beater in this outing???

A few weeks ago he was averaging 13.4 maxes per game on Apterous. Case closed.
