WON Antarctica!

Shame it was from 11th place on the grid

No improvement.

I scored 258 last night but I'm having a few technical issues and can't get my photo across. I won't have time to play today so I'll just say a big well done to the other three guys above me for getting some cracking scores and making my task extremely difficult - you set the bar high and though I couldn't reach it I still beat my personal best!

Remember that today is the last day of the round and the new thread and quarter-final draw might be a little late coming because I'm out getting trashed later

155

Only found the time for 1 single go earlier today (just got home so couldn't post it earlier). Forgot the position of the hazards in some of the later courses. Failed at Scotland.

Happy New Year!

That was a damp squib of a round wasn't it? A pretty good argument against doing a 20-player round in the future methinks.

Anyhow, well done to everybody who got through, bad luck to those who missed out (some closer than others...!) - quarter-final draw to follow soon...

Ouch, that was close. Turns out your group was harder after all.

I disagree. Yes, quite a few either forgot, didn't bother or were tied up with family/work stuff, but I think that is even more reason to have 20 qualify next year (if there are enough entrants). If only 16 made it through and only 10 (e.g. the regulars) posted times/scores we'd still have the possibility of one group having few scores being posted.

Don't remind me. If I were in group D I would have qualified with ease for the next round.
Nevermind, I can concentrate on other things for the next few weeks. Congratulations on those that made it through, I hope the next few rounds are real nail biters
