The false start was unable to be recalled so I just had to let the game go ahead early, even though it upset a few players.
As it turned out, even knowing what the links were going to be on, and with 5 minutes extra to play, only one link was found by the early birds.
I was prepared to extend the life of bonus points (usually 2 minutes) until 9:05 (yes, I try to be fair grannydi) but nobody earned them.
The first discovery went to Evsajo for RELAY RACE (2 points) and that was only matched again by x-ray at 6:45pm for a single.
At 9:04, the second link of HORSE CHESTNUT fell to OwlLady for her 2 points and four others late picked up singles.
It was late morning before Paulineward came along and plunged the depths of the GRAND CANYON, a link that only found favour much later with one other player (wickedtongue)
Just like buses, you wait all day and then two come along together. Late Saturday evening, X-ray suggested the NATIONAL ANTHEM (2 points) immediately followed by Lysander (1 point)
BUT . . . x-ray was also one of those matching 'horse chestnut', thus making him the only double-hitter this weekend.
