Well that's a surprise!

Hope you've had time to practice with this army!!!

Don

i think this is a new army for Ben. its very different to his usual choice

Hi,

Any chance of finally being eight players?

Regards,

Javier

Doesn't look like it unless we get a late entry.

Ben

one week to go!

looking forward to some decent sunshine and good Portuguese wine.

Hopefully the sun will continue shining the following week as I am staying in Lisbon for the week.

Anyone flying out Thursday on Air Portugal??

And after 2 rounds we have

Ben Jones 42
Stephen Stead 25
Simon LeRay-Mayer 22
Dave Allen 21
Ian Poade 17
Juan Gonzalez 13
Javier Moncholi Checa 9

Is Ben going to be World Champion after 4 games as opposed to 5 games last year?

No
Here are the scores after 4 rounds


Ben Jones 66
Stephen Stead 51
Ian Poade 44
Dave Allen 43
Simon LeRay-Mayer 39
Juan Gonzalez 32
Javier Moncholi Checa 23

And the final scores are

Ben 93.6
Stephen Stead 72
Ian Poade 69
Simon LeRay-Mayer 64.8
Dave Allen 52.8
Juan Gonzalez 46.8
Javier Moncholi Checa 37.2

The decimal points are due to the adjusted Bye scores, the Bye score for a player was the average of the other 5 scores, as everyone had a bye except Ian.

The full results will go up when I get home after spending a few days here in lovely Portugal.

Well done Ben, Stephen and Ian.

At least England won this competition having been trashed by Australia in the ODM today.

I would like to thank you all for the fantastic time I had in Lisbon playing with you. I had wanted to attend a big FOGR tournament in the UK for some time and this event has been almost the same. Not only did I get to know and play against real gentlemen, always ready to give or receive a joke and to accept the crazy outcomes of some dice, but I also saw with great interest the quite different philosophy and tactical doctrine that you apply, and how efficient it is compared to ours

Hope to play with you again. Best regards,

Javier.

PD: Be careful, I can only get better

Well here it is finally the full results from the FOG-R Worlds in Lisbon
