2012 Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 7, Day 1
On to the final round in a minute, but first a couple of announcements:
We have official winners for Rounds 5 & 6. Congratulations to nlw44, who posted a winning score of 423 in Round 5. The Round 6 winner is Peggles with 429 points. Congratulations.
Another announcement: I'm going to be "away from keyboard" from this Thursday morning until the following Monday, so SHC Round 7 will be played in two halves. Days 1-3 will be this week, then we'll play Days 4-6 starting next Monday. RSVP's for the TOC will be due that Friday.
Here we go.
