Mike - I know, I cheated a bit but it's still a hell of an impressive entry.

Really terrifying :) Especially with only a 5 round Swiss to sort themselves out.....

You seem to be the only Barbican representative, John, but I have every faith in another 5.5/7 8)

Jonathan - that's very good! But my 5.5 out of 7 a couple of times at Southend was more than twenty years ago and the tournament was a great deal weaker. Indeed, I recall you made 6 one of those years and won it! :D
