Crossword Tournament Dispatch #5
February 21st, 2010 at 10:51 am ETOkay, revised standings are up for puzzles #1-6 after some rescoring, and I’ve fallen to 238 — so I think my dreams of glory this year are over. There’s a full 1100 points between me and the top of the C Division. It’s not quite like wiping out on the luge in front of a global TV audience, but I still am hoping to do better next year.
On the upside, I think I had a clean solve of Merl Reagle’s puzzle #7 in fairly good time, so I should come up at least a few positions when they lock the rankings.
