Judging by it so far, yes to all bar being a 7 time winner.Thomas Carey wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 1:01 pm How's Adam going to end his run? Another 7 time winner? The first octochamp of the series? Will he score more than 74 with a win to avoid the unfortunate record? Find out in like an hour I guess
I was hoping third time lucky and it worked!Why is it unfortunate, out of interest?Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 4:56 pm Finally an octochamp! But unfortunately he's got the lowest octochamp score of the new 15 round format.

I think you're trolling a bit there. I think any other forumer could have got away with what Owen said!Tom S wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 5:42 pmWhy is it unfortunate, out of interest?Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 4:56 pm Finally an octochamp!

Just thought Owen's comment was a bit rude (nothing against him personally) and wondered why he personally thought having Adam's octototal was so unfortunate when he octo'd (which is surely the main achievement in my view, and for Adam ,probably, too) .

He's fortunate to be an octochamp at all. There are plenty of good players who've turned up and would have beaten him, but were unfortunate enough to be taking on the likes of Zarte or Tom C-C or whoever.Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 4:56 pm Finally an octochamp!

It struck me that he didn't help the potential max quite a few times by picking a 6th consonant instead of a 4th vowel. Presumably his numbers scores will be amongst the lowest for an octochamp too.
