We Can Count!
We've re-invented the wheel, solved pi to a billion decimal places, and found the edge of the universe. Yes, it's true, we have our Day 1a registration numbers just eight short hours after registration closed.
Officially, 339 players have joined this opening flight, up more than 10% from last year's number. Tomorrow is anticipated to have a huge turnout, and it's quite possible that we'll break the record for largest-ever tournament in the UK. We'll need 392 runners for Day 1b to break last year's record, and all signs point to yes, as the magic eight ball says.
The board tells us that just 197 of the starters remain as the final break of the night approaches.
