Round 7 report

Round 7 for me an interesting round. As Bill and I headed for time trouble my position improved and my time as well. Eventually it was down to me having 7 seconds and Bill 5 or something like it. When the clocked beeped both of us turned our heads expecting his time to be down, but no it was mine and he had a full second left. Well done and an important point for him. The round is not over yet a couple make up games are to follow and group b lost another participants to real life demands, Ulysses had to forfeit his remaining games. This said the games go on and we have three more rounds to go.

Round 3 Report



Round 3 this Monday was very much reduced by unsceduled absences ranging from babysitter shortage to stolen motor bikes.
