Thank you TK. All your writing is smashing again this year. I look forward to reading your musings every morning.

Please keep an eye out for James Browning for me. I don't know what day he is playing but he has promised to play the October nine as his alter ego Rod Hartley including 70s style flared suit. Have you ever met Rod? You could be only bloke on here old enough to have seen him live.

You must be knackered Tony. Keep going though.

Marc Wright news.

Up to over 100,000 now, & battering ram mode engaged.

He loves his Table (there's a thing) & wants to attempt to get to 150,000 by close of play.

Eeek.

EACH Day1 (a, b & c) starts at noon, & plays for 5 Levels. Allowing for breaks, play ends at 12.45am each day.

1a is Saturday (today), 1b Sunday, 1c Monday.
 
Survivors from days 1a & 1b will play their Day Two on TUESDAY.

Survivors from Day1c will play their Day Two on WEDNESDAY. (Day 1c will be MUCH bigger than 1a & 1b, due, amongst other things to the plethora of Mega Sats, & players who prefer to play the "last" Day).
 
There were 1,066 players in today's Day 1a, up 19% from last years 897.  However, there were 4 Day 1's last year, & only 3 this year.

Pete Linton STILL grinding a bowl, Toby around 65,000, Marc Wright 62,000.

Playing the last 2 hour Level of the day now, 200/400-50.
