[Marc]

You all have three out of four correct.

[chasmmi]

[Lindea]

2. Tony Meo
3. Tony Knowles beat Joe Johnson
4. Ray Reardon

[dantuck_7]

[Monique]

1. Mike Hallet

[Marc]

Congratulations Lindea It was mike Hallet, he knocked steve davis out of the event 5-2.. so all correct answers there too = 1 point.

Well done Monique too you got the correct answer, but later than Lin, but you did get the other 3 correct answers first so i think its fair you get ½ point.

So here is the scoreboard after round 178.

Scoreboard after round 178, with correct ordering to reflect the rule that The Statman put early in this thread (that where this is a group of people each with the same number of points, the person who scored most recently is listed at the top of that group).

Ooops, I just noticed that my list had 4 names missing, not three!

chasmmi will still get the point - well done.

The first person (other than chasmmi) to insert the last missing name, together with an explanation, will get a half-point.
