Dave Robjohns Worth noting the tiebreak policy here - you may elect to take a high risk high reward strategy...

Sam Cappleman-Lynes

Sam Cappleman-Lynes Do all stages of the tiebreak take both games into account?

Dave Robjohns

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.

The following qualified for the final:
H1 1st - Cammy L (139)
H1 2nd - Marcus Hares (138)
H1 3rd - Oliver Solamath (138)
H1 4th - Vincent Barcet (137)
H2 1st - Matty Artell (140)
H2 2nd - Sam C-L (139)
H2 3rd - Matthew Tassier (138)
H2 4th - Thomas Cappleman (134)
q1 - Joseph H (133)
q2 - Dave Robjohns (132)

Unfortunately Chris' 142 and Jack's 138, while both good enough to qualify, were too late. Andy's 132 impressively featured 11 number gambles, but 11 maxes vs my 14, so I take the final spot.

Final games up very shortly, once again you'll have a week.

Dave Robjohns Event 29 of 66 complete:
🥇 🇬🇧 Joseph H
🥈 🇰🇷 Dave Robjohns
🥉 🇫🇷 Thomas Cappleman

A huge result this, as it sees Joseph overtake Sam and gives us a new leader!

Tourney round: Aptolympics 2020: Event 36: 5000m

<< Event 35: Butterfly | Event 37: Fencing Sabre >>

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
