 | Dave Robjohns Worth noting the tiebreak policy here - you may elect to take a high risk high reward strategy... |
 | Sam Cappleman-Lynes Do all stages of the tiebreak take both games into account? |
| Dave Robjohns Yep, if you make the final and tie with someone, I'll look first at R1 score, then total maxes over both rounds. |
| Dave Robjohns This one slipped the net - R1 ended last night.

Notes from the organizer: Event 36 is another athletics event, the 5000m. Followers of the Focal Talk podcasts may have seen the recent episode featuring Gevin, which explains the format for this event - the man loves a 5k!
You'll play one game against Prune here, and highest score wins 4 gold medals. If we need a tie break, it's about risk vs reward - first I'll look at total score, then maxes, then the number of rounds where you didn't choose the easier 1L/2L... are you going to gamble and try to breakaway from the field?!
The event will be split in half, forming two heats. The top 4 from each heat will qualify, alongside 2 others, producing a field of 10 for the final.
Deadline for first game: 17th July
Deadline for final game: 24th July
