Spoilers for Wednesday 2 January 2019 (COC XV, game 1)
It's COC time! And kicking us off we have the guy who succeeded where I failed, series 73 wynner Jonathan Wynn versus thankfully not my local MP, series 78 semi finalist Phil Davies.
(I'll put stats here in a few hours I am so so tired happy new year everyone)
In Zarte's prediction game, EVERY PERSON guessed a win for JW with margins ranging from 5 to 60 points and an average margin of 30.73.

Strong start, FOOTSURE would've meant it was still a max game come R14, so you might have been a bit pissed Jon to see him pick 6s!

Apto-magic for the Wynn!! Great start to the tourney despite the subpar max score and commiserations to Phil for being within striking distance for so long.
Got 828 in the fourth numbers game via (5*5-2)*9*4 I believe.

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 2 January 2019 (COC XV, game 1)
Yeah, although tbf I'd probably have risked 'preorder' if I thought I was on for a max, which I was fully expecting them to say was in after I stuck with 7. Would have liked to gotten the con but other than that decent start, can't complainBradley Horrocks wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 2:54 pm Strong start, FOOTSURE would've meant it was still a max game come R14, so you might have been a bit pissed Jon to see him pick 6s!

Phil was a solid opponent and it took a good while to break away (hence my deliberately awkward picking later on) so v well played to him too.

Well done Jonathan. Great start for the coc. Commiserations Phil. Must be hard facing 2 900 club members in a row.
Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 2 January 2019 (COC XV, game 1)
Was a CoC worthy game. Well played to Jonathan who came up with some strong spots on both fronts, and commiserations to Phil, in a game which I believed deserved a closer scoreline. I can equally sympathise Phil given the fact that I suffered a similar fate to Phil versus Jonathan in the sense that I got to about R11 and stopped scoring from there
Look forward to seeing more in store tomorrow.

Absolutely stunning performance from Wynn there, hardly putting a foot wrong and not being too far from a max. Commiserations to Phil though, who also produced a very respectable performance.
((5*5-2)*9+1)*4 for 832, not that it really matters though.

Excellent game from Jonathan who we last saw some 3.5 years ago! Unlucky that FOOTSURE was in though...
But hey, if there's one thing, it proves that you haven't lost your footing! See you in the Quarter-Finals! As for Phil, you played spectacularly too, having last saw you some six months ago, but unfortunately, the Series Champion had the advantage all the way and I'm sorry that Nick had to say that someone had to go at the start of the show and it's you.
(Tbh, I found that very distasteful, it's not like they're average contestants.)
Up tomorrow, it's going to be a good match, a Female contestant (Yes, we need more!!) vs an expertise in "6 Small", let's see if the Runner-Up or another Semi-Finalist will go through.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

My predictions of the winner and margin were entirely based on random dice rolls. I'm calling this a win for me already.Thomas Carey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 4:51 am In Zarte's prediction game, EVERY PERSON guessed a win for JW with margins ranging from 5 to 60 points and an average margin of 30.73.

For each game, I rolled two 10-sided dice of different colours. One die represented player 1, the other player 2, and whichever die was higher was the player I predicted to win. The margin I predicted was five times the difference in the values shown on the dice.Bradley Horrocks wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 6:35 pmI'm curious... how did you use the dice to generate a margin?Graeme Cole wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:21 am My predictions of the winner and margin were entirely based on random dice rolls. I'm calling this a win for me already.
In the event that both die rolls showed the same number, I would have predicted a draw, then rolled another die to determine who would win the tiebreak - player 1 if odd and player 2 if even. But that didn't happen in any of the rolls.
