It's Prelim 103, not 163.
You always seem to do at least 5 mistakes with everything you do, Robert.
I hope this inconsistency can be eradicated. Maybe you should watch more tennis and less F1.
You need to improve to become anywhere near recapping material.
It's Liversedge. I should know, it's only a couple or so miles away from where I live.Robert Baxter wrote:C2: Challenger Ian Rann, from Liversledge in W. Yorkshire.
DC also got RAZORED, and that's a bit harsh to call it a slow start.Robert Baxter wrote:Round 1: Z O R I D E A S R

I can easily! The 212 refers to the distribution of small numbers on the board. C2 declared 0.Robert Baxter wrote:Round 4: 75, 10, 10, 9, 7, 4. Target: 554.

DC got GUMBOS in this one.Robert Baxter wrote:Round 7: B U K S O Y A M G

Actually 2.25 seconds, but you're new so I'll let you off, since not everyone else does the fractions either.Robert Baxter wrote:Round 9: L O V T E N N I S
