100 prelims this series so far. It's going to get a telegraph from the Queen. I first said telegram. Not sure what I was thinking. To celebrate, Antoinette Ryan's gonna try to get a 7th win. If she does, she will pass David Stanford for 6th seed, regardless of score. Can she do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Nice - could see it was 87x7 but didn't get further as I spent too much time on the abortive standard method....

Beaters available in R2 from MATURES+RN, R4 from PHONIER+DO. PHAGES as alt to GAUGES in R5.
INOCULA is the real version of Antoinette's word in R13. I will leave the other alts in the later rounds to JR.

So, Antoinette's final seeding based on tomorrow's game is as follows:-

If she loses or wins with no more than 47 points, she's #6.
A win with 48 to 85 points, she's #5.
86 to 97 points, she's #4.
98 to 110, she's #3.
111 to 195, she's #2.
196 or over, #1. Could happen.

Lol, if only I had some goodies, Tony, but most of mine have been said on the telly already, and I didn't get either of those beaters, I'm afraid.

SALUTED in round 7, GODETIAS/STEADING in round 10 and MOANIEST in round 11.

That's cos it used to be telegram, Jordan. Officially, it's now a telemessage.

Gutted she didn't make another century today, slightly off form; a definite contender for Miss Steadman's all-time best female ever IMHO!
