[James Robinson]

Round 6: 7, 3, 6, 1, 6, 75. Target: 172.

Tom: 171. (75+7+1)*(6/3)+2 (7)
Connor: 175.
Score: 44–6 (max 47)

He got the target exactly, Andy...., so he should have another 3 points.

Round 9: 1, 7, 25, 75, 100, 50. Target: 739.

Tom: 740. ((100-1)*7)+50-(75/25) (7)
Connor: 725.
Score: 65–6 (max 69)

739 is possible by doing (100 x 7) + ((75 x (25 + 1)) / 50), so another 3 points added to make the max 121.

[Gavin Chipper]

I think the max should be 124 because 3 points are missing on the 172 and 739 round.
