I've worked out that if I win my two games, then I draw with Meadows on tie-break, with 193.25 points each. How about that for a close thing!

See how good this tourney would have been with just Bristol Players.  Never mind we win this. we are also winning in the county championships. Go go Bristol and Glos.

I'd better get off my perch and start playing. Good luck Mike, if you're out there!

This is how the tournament stands, it's between Meadows and Canary.

  • If Meadows loses, Canary needs 1 point to win.
  • If Meadows draws, Canary needs 1 1/2 points to win.
  • If Meadows wins, Canary needs the full 2 points to win.

Canary's tiebreak score will be higher in any of these methods for Canary to win.

Nice one Mike.  Keep it up and keep the pride in Bristol.  For what it's worth whilst you, "and canary", have been keeping the home fires burning I got my rating back up to 1767. So we can all start again. A NEW Bristol Tourney will start soon. This time No outsiders.

Fair enough Andy.  I wouldn't want to sway anyone either way. Good Luck.

I will sort something out later to put things right.
