We're on the holiday break in the AWC, so new matches posted in the main event or in the Junior Mint. At this point in the Speed Demon we are (theoretically) through with the original round-robin, which will lead to regrouping for games in the new year. So here are the pools, and what we know about them:

Pool Red
MISSING GAME: Done!
RESULTS: Scott Gillies finished 1st; Kirk Bevins finishes 2nd; Matthew Tassier finishes 3rd; Tom Chafer-Cook finishes 4th; Peter Lee finishes 5th; Graeme Cole finishes 6th.

Pool Orange
MISSING GAMES: Ian Volante v. Tom Rowell
RESULTS: Innis Carson is 1st and James Robinson is 2nd. James Hall finishes 6th. If Ian beats Tom, we have a three-way tie at 2 wins; if Tom wins, he finished 3rd, Jim Bentley in 4th and Ian in 5th.

Pool Yellow
MISSING GAMES: Done-ish (modulo DO'D)
RESULTS: There was a second-hand message that DO'D was pulling out of this. Given that, that leaves Edward McCullagh in 1st, Matt Morrison in 2nd, and Andrew Feist, Adam Gillard, and Lesley Hines in a tie. The tiebreaker points in this case come out even all the way around. Adam Gillard has the advantage in points, so what I will propose is this: I will play Lesley with the loser taking 5th place, and the winner playing Adam for 3rd/4th.

Pool Green
MISSING GAMES: Tom Barnes v. Lloyd Pettet
RESULTS: This pool will finish in a nice 5-4-3-2-1-0 order, once that last game comes in. Oliver Garner finishes 1st; Thomas Cappleman finishes 2nd; Eoin Monaghan finishes 3rd; and James Bradley finishes 6th.

Pool Blue
MISSING GAMES: Hugh Binnie v. Miriam Nussbaum; Andrew Herbertson v. Kai Laddiman; Andrew Herbertson v. Miriam Nussbaum.
RESULTS: Dinos Sfyris wins the pool.

Pool Violet
MISSING GAMES: Done!
RESULTS: Ben Wilson in 1st; Ryan Taylor in 2nd; Ben Cooke in 6th. James Doohan, Chris Hare, and Dan Seasmith finished in a 3-way tie with 2 wins; the tiebreaker points have James Doohan with 4 points, Chris Hare with 3 points, and Dan Seasmith with 4 points. So Chris Hare is out of the tie in 5th place. I propose that James Doohan and Dan Seasmith play a tiebreaker game to determine 3rd/4th.

Pool Violet is clearly the place to be.

Speaking of tiebreakers: Lesley Hines is through to play Adam for 3/4, leaving me in 5th.

Thanks for posting that Andrew, and unlucky but I enjoyed it so thanks

Dan Seasmith 76 - 108 Tom Chafer-Cook

I'm away for Christmas, and appear to have the usual issue of Apterous not loading on someone else's computer. No idea why, but it probably means I won't be playing at all until the 29th or so, unless any of the geeks round here can offer advice.

I think I forgot to post this one from the Junior Mint:

Ben Cooke 71 - 81 Jim Bentley
Jim Bentley 97 - 69 Ben Cooke

And this awesome game just happened tonight, from the Main Event:

Jim Bentley 92 - 93 Tom Barnes
Tom Barnes 78 - 99 Jim Bentley
Jim Bentley 107 - 85 Tom Barnes

Me and the Binnster fully caught up now. I won the speed demon which could have gone either way really, and the main flight 2-0. Here are the games:

Hugh 85 - 95 Dinos

Dinos 92 - 67 Hugh
Hugh 67 - 103 Dinos

Unfinished Speed Demon game for Pool Orange:

Innis Carson 95-80 Tom Rowell

Week 3 Junior Mint:

Dan Seasmith 92-102 John Gillies
Dan Seasmith 103-93 John Gillies
Dan Seasmith 109-71 John Gillies

Ach shit. Sorry Dan, I just realised after I jumped in with the conundrum, that you were on for a max game in our third game.
Sorry 'bout that

The first 2 games were very close, but you taught me a real lesson in the third. Well done and thanks; really enjoyed it

Amazingly, I won this one - unlucky Adam. Blame the brandy in the Christmas pudding but enjoyed the game thanks

Lesley Hines 84 - 79 Adam Gillard

I'm almost there now! Jr Mint:

James Hall 98 - 115 Hugh Binnie
Hugh Binnie 92 - 88 James Hall

Late one to mix up the speed demon play-offs (I think it bumps me up to fourth on points differential):

Tom Rowell 56 - 61 Ian Volante
