Before I crawl into bed and sleep off the stinking head cold that blighted me all day (and caused me to leave the afterparty early
) the time is now to oblige those that asked.
One spot prize this year, which went to the person who had the highest score from one game- which was Jon Corby, who in his very first game scored a whopping (and also COLIN record) 83 points against Mike Brown.
Alas I was unable to make a multiple of 3 from the available players this year so I recruited Apterous Prune from out of the ether to give everyone who found themselves on table 11 a 'bye win', consisting of however many points they could score in what was effectively a flat 9-rounder (this is so everyone was able to play 6 games). The 32 human players were divided into 3 groups of 11, with ratings prizes for everyone in the C class and the B class.
The C class ratings prize went to the player in 16th place, with 3 wins and a points total of 299- Howard Somerset!
The B class ratings prize went to the player in 11th, with 4 wins and 310 points- Richard Priest!
So, onto the top 5- nobody finished the day unbeaten, and after 6 games there were 5 players on 5 wins, all of whom took home prizes.
In 5th place, making his co-event debut, was MARTIN MAY with 5 wins and 307 points.
In 4th place was DINOS SFYRIS with 5 wins and 339 points.
3rd was JACK HURST with 5 wins and 360 points- a hugely impressive record for someone who's not been on the show... yet.
2nd was the 2007 runner-up PAUL HOWE with 5 wins and 365 points, just 5 more than Jack.
But in first place, winning his first co-event after what feels like about nine and a half centuries and taking home the COLIN perpetual trophy for the next twelve months, on 5 wins and 376 points, is KIRK BEVINS.
Many thanks to all of you who made the trip through the cold and the snow and occasionally dodgy satnav directions, to Naomi Laddiman for ably assisting me throughout the day and to my mum for keeping us all fed and watered.
No prizes for guessing where the leftover apple crumble went.
