Looks like Marc wins then??

 

[Somerset]

Yup looks like it...think I'll finish fifth, which is a bit disappointing given I was in the top two for the majority of the tournament! Ah well, next time.

Congrats Marc. And yeah, mail and/or men/women together is probably the best way of doing tips at the end. Latter wasn't possible now due to the rain.

Any other thoughts? Personally I'd like to go to a less explosive scoring system (1-2-4-6-10-16-26 perhaps)

Thanks for this, respectability for me. Wonder how I'd of done with the womens resulsts taking out

Yet no complaints, I quite like the scoring system, can change big at the end and keeps everyone in it.

Edit; Well done Marc

well done marc

ya agree some thing similar would be nice (1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 14 - 22- 32) may be

What about just adding one point per round so the finals are worth 7? Would make the so called meaningless matches early in the tournament mean more.

Think that's going too far the other way. Would probably mean that someone out in front could win by picking 4 QFs right.
