Stay tuned below the fixtures for round by round commentary.

Commentary has ceased. Full results will be published in due course.

We have a reset for Game 15 which means David and Saidu will play effectively for the title. Oscar and Ashwin won both their games. Rob H hits a 100+ point play for TOXINES in his game.

The lead is still 2 wins for our Dynamic Duo atop the summit. The reset is next game. Both Karen and Paul win their games. Oscar defeats Ashwin whilst Danira gets a win in his game with Annette. Victoria Gates has a high loss against Dineth.

We will head into the lunch break with two players pretty much guaranteed 1st and 2nd place. The fight for places 3-7 looks very even. Resets will occur at Game 15.

In another battle of the Robs, Rob Hutchinson wins over Rob York in this instance. Losses to both David and Saidu in this round brings their lead down to 2.

David scores 95 for JEUX, making it one of the highest non-bonus plays this weekend, as he tops 500 in his game with Gwen. In the battle of the Richardses, Paul beat Karen by 10.

Nat hits 516 in her game. 3 game lead from the top 2 to the remainder of the field. One game to lunch.

Peter Kougi got his revenge on Rob York for his Round One defeat and moves into the top 5. Carol's win propels her into the Top 5 as well.

Reset occurred at Game 9. Our standby player arrives, meaning no more byes in the event. Oscar, Danira, and Carol score over 500 in their games. Carol, Dianne, Barry, Trevor, and Geoff were acknowledged pre game for a Lifetime Player Award, having exceeded 3000 games played.

You can see this on our home page, or on Facebook.

And we are tied at the top! Both players lead by 2 games.

Its'a wrap! See you tomorrow!

It's penultimate game today! Mythili and Rob have gradually made their way up the leaderboard. As has Peter Kougi, who has hit three games over 500 in 4 games. In the battle of South Australia, Jane beat Judy.

Wins for Judy, Carolyn, Danira commence the reporting for this round. Carolyn's win the closest of those, with a 3 point victory over Angie. Bill wins by 8 over Paul. In the battle of the Robs, Rob York wins over Rob Hutchinson.

David now leads by 1 win and slight spread from Dineth in 2nd. Peter and Dineth exceeded 500 this game and Oscar hit TAILZIE for 124. Three games left today with a reset to commence Day 2.

We have players aged under 18 taking part this weekend. Dineth sits in 4th, Oscar in 15th, Ashwin in 17th, Jithuni in 21st, and Danira in 39th. There are 2 prizes for players under 18 at The Vics. Lunch is at the end of this game. Clocks start for Round 5 at 2pm Melbourne time.

The 100 plus word scores continues with Bill getting REHINGED early on in the round. The 500+ games continue to roll in with Oscar, Ronnie, Peter, Saidu, David and Dineth all scoring in excess of 500.

David and Dineth did theirs in the same game! Bill ended up winning his game - against Karen Richards. Ashwin defeated Jane Taylor. Mythili defeated Nat.

Dineth gets a new High Word score of 149 (IDOCRASE) on his way to a 565 game. We have an odd number of players for the day so some have byes.

Most of the top 10 enjoyed varying levels of victory in Round 1, with Rob York defeating Peter Kougi an opening round upset. John Holgate and, the newly crowned World Number 1, David Eldar topped 500 in their opening games.

Ronnie Bennett amassed 664, with his opponent hitting a High Word of 125. Cecilia Khoo defeated Jane Taylor by 16.
