Morning JRB and thanks for the links. Sounds like you;re enjoying some lovely weather, we've had two gorgeous spring days, but today, it's six layers again !!

[gen2]

Congratulations cliffyg, another player to join the elite ranks of the clean-sweepers.

I think this has been a high-scoring week and all those points are clogging up seekeerz's abacus. Either that, or she has run out of beads.

[Prescott]

It looks as though Steff is having computer trouble again !!
Probably time to invest in a new one methinks.

[gen2]

She just bought a new one a few months ago Prescott, but she has yet to upgrade to broadband.

I have been doing the scores and the results follow below.

[gen2]

Well, It looks as if seekeers's computer has let her down again as I would have expected her to have posted the results by now.

In her absence, I have totted up the marks and find that this week has been remarkable in two respects. Firstly, EVERYONE who entered scored at least one point, thus locking out potential members of the free-fall club. Secondly, there were 5 - YES FIVE players with a clean sweep! More of that later.

gen2 kicked off with 3 hits (Royal, Standing and Grand) for 6 points matched 1 minute later by centrino, also 6 points
london_lassy, lysander & x-ray were within 2 mins and picked up bonus points for 'Royal'
london_lassy, lysander, joto & x-ray were within 2 mins and picked up bonus points for 'Standing'

At 7:22, cliffyg found the final pairing of TRADE UNION as well as matching the other three for a clean sweep and 7 points.
**** Congratulations cliffyg ****

But that's not the end of it for as the day wore on, a further 4 players also managed the clean sweep but sadly were outwith the 2 minute window and so do not get the extra bonus points, just 4 points each.
**** Congratulations grenmus, cpfcrosie3, patchett & Cleocima ****

So I make this week's scores:

7 points cliffyg
6 points centrino & gen2
4 points Cleocima, cpfcrosie3, Grenmus, london_lassy, lysander, patchett, x-ray
3 points bridgenut(Mr), bridgenut(Mrs), brizzer, Chiefpanda, ChrisHewat (Mrs), Dizzy Lizzie, Eiggam, jobjockey, Magyar, Muzz, nabob, Paul21455, pinktwink, roslyn251254, wickedtongue
+ 13 on 2 points and
+ 13 on 1 point

[cliffyg]

thanks
there's a first time for everything
but i had a bad week on the MM game

[gen2]

I cannot be accurate for the leadership bord for the lower positions because only the top positions were listed last week.

Using those as the basis and adding on the scores this week I make the provisional leadership board look like this:

15 points cliffyg
11 points Dizzy Lizzie
10 points centrino
9 points devadiva & jobjockey
8 points lysander & wickedtongue

And I'll leave it there since those are the only ones I am certain of.

[cpfcrosie]

hurray, my first ever clean sweep!
I will just have to get up earlier to try to get the bonus ponts, although I expect next week I will get a big fat zero!

[x-ray]

Thanks gen2.
Excellent back up service on this site.
Poor Steff and her beleaguered computer !!!

[seekeerz]

I have returned - feel as though I've done three rounds in a tumble dryer - does anyone have a spare elephant gun, in she does it again !!!

I sincerely hope that my change over to broadband will do the trick - fingers crossed, waving crucifix and garlic etc.

Thank you gen2 for stepping into the breach, I must commend you on your results sheet and amended Leader Board, I will just add a few extra names -

Cleocima joins devadiva & jobjockey on 9 points.

gen2, Grenmus, lysander, wickedtongue, & patchett are all on 8 points

cpfsrosiel & x-ray on 7 points

Judith, sarumite, roslyn251254 & Chiefpanda on 6 points

Best thing about this game - everyone scored !!! well done and congratulations all round, let's see if we can do it next weekend - now I shall leave before the magic spell wears off and my computer turns into a pumpkin [ or worse !! ] S
