George Armstrong Another simple, yet posssibly frustating bonus round. Max a round having locked two consonants. You always have to lock a consonant first, just make sure you've already picked at least 3 vowels so you can lock one at the end.

Eoin Jackson Oops... this may be the first time the Letters part of this tourney makes a significant difference to how teams fare.

Crafty George has finally figured out how to chip away at our team's considerable lead. Things just got spicy!

Martin Thomas Are rounds where it is impossible to score an automatic max?

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Good point. Given the lockdown numbers players got a similar pass last time, then yes. Will retrospectively merit those affected, thanks for raising it Martin :)

Dave Ryan

Dave Ryan If I understand this right, I may have accidentally picked up bonus points.

George Armstrong Ah I seemingly let these rounds run for an extra day because I can't count to 7... Will allow the extra day then coz that's my bad :)
