Wasn't sure who else was going to do the writeup so I took a bit of initiative, so without further ado the true 1v1 format of the FU: The Giant Tap Giant Tap Round 1: Groote Eyelandt vs Ararat Guthrie 37 vs Gawn 139 Eden vs King Island Pedersen 92 vs Smith 75 Blanchetown vs Cow Bay Jacobs 90 vs Lycett 33 Pakenham vs Coolgardie Bellchambers 89 vs Martin 111 Christmas Island vs Banchang Kreuzer 74 vs Sinclair 106 Pearcedale vs Staghorn Flat Simpson 0 vs McEvoy 93 Southern Cross vs Nuytsland Ryder 68 vs Grundy 95 Hughenden vs Korumburra Sandilands 104 vs Goldstein 105 Gisborne vs Serengeti Witts 131 vs Longer 34 Leaderboard: (av used as tiebreaker) Gawn 1-0 (139) Witts 1-0 (131) Martin 1-0 (111) Sinclair 1-0 (106) Goldstein 1-0 (105) Grundy 1-0 (95) McEvoy 1-0 (93) Pedersen 1-0 (92) Jacobs 1-0 (90) Sandi and Golder definitely match of the round, pretty sure they always have close games.
Giant Tap Round 2 (italics for OOP) Coolgardie vs Groote Eylandt Martin 63 vs Stanley 67 Ararat vs Gisborne Gawn 97 vs Witts 105 Pearcedale vs Southern Cross Nankervis 108 vs Roughead 31 Serengeti vs Pakenham Longer 18 vs Bellchambers 83 King Island vs Hughenden Smith 0 vs Sandilands 42 Nuytsland vs Eden Grundy 139 vs Pedersen 33 Banchang vs Blanchetown Sinclair 75 vs Jacobs 116 Korumburra vs Christmas Island Goldstein 123 vs Dale 23 Staghorn Flat vs Cow Bay McEvoy 138 vs Lycett 87 Leaderboard: (av used as tiebreaker) Witts 2-0 (118) Grundy 2-0 (117) McEvoy 2-0 (115.5) Goldstein 2-0 (114) Jacobs 2-0 (103) Nankervis 1-0
That I will... Incidentally, does anyone have last year's results? I lost track when I lost my last computer (which didn't have a HDD to retrieve)
And as predicted, Big Boy McEvoy takes out the Big Tap 2017 by half a point! With a very lucky win scoring on 72 points to beat Bellchambers 48, it was enough for the unlikely hero take out the title. McEvoy - 12.5 points Mumford - 12 points Jacobs & Kreuzer 11 points And its Big Tap, not Giant
Giant Tap Round 3 (italics for OOP) Coolgardie vs Nuytsland Martin 154 vs Grundy 154 Southern Cross vs Eden Howard 32 vs Castagna 49 Ararat vs Banchang Gawn 117 vs Sinclair 152 Staghorn Flat vs Christmas Island McEvoy 93 vs Kreuzer 86 Blanchetown vs King Island Jacobs 82 vs Naitanui 110 Hughenden vs Cow Bay Sandilands 93 vs Lycett 68 Serengeti vs Groote Eylandt Selwood 44 vs Berry 25 Gisborne vs Pearcedale Witts 63 vs Nankervis 101 Pakenham vs Korumburra Bellchambers 80 vs Goldstein 57 Leaderboard: (av used as tiebreaker) McEvoy 3 Grundy 2.5 Nankervis 2-0 Sinclair 2-1 (111) Witts 2-1 (99.7) Jacobs 2-1 (96) Goldstein 2-1 (95) Bellchambers 2-1 (84) Sandilands 2-1 (79.7) The King has returned with a good win but he's still behind and facing history. With the possible exception of McEvoy (haven't got 2017 in my spreadsheet), no winner has ever missed a round. In other news, had Grundy won this round he'd be top on Av.
