	Adam Latchford Please 1) read the group aptomail and 2) note that if you also fulfil the criteria to play another game in your second game, you can play a third, fourth etc, just don't bust by the end!
	Dave Kempshall Great tournament Adam - thanks for hosting!
	Jason Turner Thanks for hosting Adam. Its great to play different variants that I wouldn't normally look at.
	Roger Peak Thanks Adam - a very well run tournament with lots of depth and challenges, even better than last year !
	Ravi Choudhary For criterion 3, is it ok to go for an anagram of Relations?
	Adam Latchford Never ok. But going for one still achieves criterion 1
	Mark Jeary-Fairbairn Yep thanks Adam - enjoyed it

Tourney round: Reach your rating 2025: Round 16 - Lightning Goatblitz

<< Round 15 - Junior Con Attack

Notes from the organizer: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZC0wgeHxNutGvnbWimmDIgOHFpHou5qTUcquIj5u-x8/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Welcome to the end game! Here is what you need to do.

Reach your rating EXACTLY and do not bust within a game. You can play more games of lightning goatblitz (if you haven't reached your rating) by fulfilling any of the following criteria in a game.
1) Get a 9 letter word
2) Declare (validly) one of the words REACH, YOUR, RATING
3) AVOID declaring relations if it pops up in the selection.

You can then play another game but you might have to do some maths to make sure you don't bust along the way.

For Dan Byrom who is our only rexer - only your first game is against rex.

Please see the first comment for who needs what score but also look at the spreadsheet.

Thanks for playing.

The only other thing is here is the wildcard spreadsheet in case people want to look back at what they picked / what others picked. Kept hidden until now.
