So, we have arrived at another octochamp crowning ceremony, but will our "Butcher" be knighted with a sword, or more appropriately, perhaps, a meat cleaver

Well, the stats don't look that good for David unfortunately, as his most realistic highest place on the table he could reach is probably 6th

Here's the runthrough:

* Mark Deeks & Graeme Cole are mathematically out of reach.

* Carl Williams & Jayne Wisniewski are probably out of reach, as David would have to break the high score record.

* Dave Taylor is also probably out of reach, as he'd have to get a score over 40 points more than his current PB.

So that leaves Nikki Roberts:

*If David loses with a score below 100, then he stays at #7.

*If David loses with a score of 101 or more, then he moves up to #6.

*If he wins, he'll go up to #6, unless he gets a super humongous score, then he might move higher.

Don't forget also that if David wins with a score of 81 or less, he breaks Danny Pledger's low-scoring octochamp record.

Hope that's all sorted.

See you later for the recap.

Heh being the worst octochamp ever might have been interesting. Good news for Nikki then.

Couple of those rounds were crying out for an extra vowel, so consider this a little moan about that (for the millionth time).

Daikons as an alternative in round 1, and the classic realtors or relators in round 3 too.

Hard luck for David although he was never really octochamp material in all honesty. Loved the conundrum guess.

ANODISE in round 1, REALTORS in round 3 and VAINEST in round 13 (although not the max).

Missed, it, did he win and what was his score?

He lost 66-72 when neither player got the crucial conundrum.

Slightly off topic, but what is happening to the recaps for Tuesdays 4th, 11th and 18th October? The 4th has already dropped off of 4od.

Cool. Dave Taylor has now qualified.

I'll do the 11th and 18th if Liam dosen't.

Liam claims he will do them, but he seems like to be intentionally annoying us at the moment.

DIOXANE in round 1 (no DIOXANES), STARTLER in round 3, ORIENTS in round 4 and GEODIC in round 12.
