Thanks Gareth, I’ve added that to the post - and apologies for initially missing that off. Tuesday night was a long one!

That UK team performance ties the UK's best - happily, time to update the Hall of Fame post! Maybe there just might be reason to update it in the same way for the puzzle championship too...!

I added the WSC team result. Pretty sure the GP results on that page need updating too, since I think Freddie came third after the playoffs. May be previous years missing too.

Happily, reason to update the Hall of Fame again. Many congratulations!

I think it's up to date now, but I;ve not had a lot of sleep and its possible I've missed something
