HappyG(rrr) Jun 2020 8:27am, 9 Jun 2020 35,126 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) I'm 50th at mo, so should be in multiplayer next week? I may have a go at bike and walk in my 4 local squares for the week and see what kind of score it gets me? Would be minimal extra effort, plus my usual distance runs and see what that does? G

McGoohan Jun 2020 8:41am, 9 Jun 2020 45,676 posts	0 McGoohan I made a bit of a cock-up this week - meant to take another week off as I'm DIYing. Not going to be running/cycling or owt til tomorrow at the earliest. And now I find I'm drawn against RRR-Caz so he'll have an easy win this week
JCB Jun 2020 9:33am, 9 Jun 2020 1,257 posts	0 JCB I've added week 6 into the multiplayer spreadsheet: fetcheveryone.com/blog/91900/2019/10#398645 I've added a graph for 'grid total'. Grid total is defined as the minimum number of points needed to own every square. When the round starts, grid total is 225. I've also calculated some score averages for some of the rounds played recently.

roberton Jun 2020 11:15am, 9 Jun 2020 813 posts	0 roberton HappyG: since it is top 128 who enter multiplayer (plus a few extra for ones on leave), you are not only going to make it, you're practically seeded Sounds like you are thinking of trying to make it through the first round by owning your local squares? If so then the obvious risk is that there's a load of others going to do exactly the same thing. Even just picking some squares which are near but not right at the should improve your chances. Personally I went for the opposite approach last time, which was make it through on the number explored. Usually 70 to 80 is enough, last time it was 150+. I remember waking up early on the Monday morning worrying I needed to go out and get some more 😰
