You need a running total of 380 to make the annual competition leader-board with seven months played, which means that about 65 players make the list.
Although he recorded his lowest score of the year so far (64/80), Francois still retains his place atop the leader-board. Last month’s winner, Dave Williams, moves up into second place. This month’s biggest winner is Hanoi, who jumps to third with both Luwen and Alexander failing to make the monthly leader-board for the first time. Ian moves up into fourth place just behind the silver and bronze medalists from the 2021 annual competition.
The top three are all still averaging over 70/80, with Ian and Alexander just a fraction below that mark. It is worth noting, though, that when the time comes to start replacing the worst scores, those hot on the heels of the top two now all have a score in the 50s (or 40s) to drop.
