Martin extends his lead by a crucial 8 points over Pete D, with 3 events to go. Paul H will be hoping to use Britcon to close the gap on the top 2 this weekend...

It's all to do with replacing previous scores with better ones... or, in Stephen's case, adding your 5th best score - see the scoring system on the first page.

Thanks to Paul for the update, and

CONGRATULATIONS to the mighty top three…and what a winning score!

Excellent play, Mr Diades. 

Best placing.  The first four have all won at least one tournament, Martin Smith's and Tom Whitehead's best finish is second.  Paul Murgatroyd (7th) has also won a tournament.
