PS. Apologies again for the botched prize ceremony. We had a computer printout from partial results after only 19/21 rounds, and misawarded some prizes. Everyone that sadly had a prize taken away was very gracious about letting it go to the rightful owner. Thanks for your understanding. ... On a positive note, not counting takebacks, almost everyone received a prize!
