Comments
a) apologies for that horrible sentence in the third paragraph which just went on and on and on
b) it would be ironic (in an Alanis Morrissette type of way) if it did end this way, the one time Rainman didn't go for 220!

CardiffAce 263
By my reckoning, 50 players through to the second round.
Provisional list of entrants through to Round 2
"....Final tally - 263, so everyone apart from CardiffAce under-estimated the size of the field".
That's astonishing - 97 entrants, & not ONE of the 97 guessed "higher" than the eventual answer, & only one person guessed correctly, so 96 of the 97 guessed too low. I could never have predicted such a lopsided response.
Lack of decent football on TV can make such a difference, remarkable that the 3 previous weeks had traded in a very narrow band (& missed Guarantee all three weeks) of 214, 218 & 217, & this week, it improved on that average by around 22%.
So the following players move forward into Day 2, & everyone else is OUT. We'll maybe do another of this when this one ends, & next time perhaps we can top the magic 100.
Big "thank you" to 4k_Balla & FCHD for their help, it saved me a ton of time & effort, thank you.
We'll close this thread now, to avoid it all getting a bit messy, & I'll start a new Thread shortly.
