Observations

Welcome to the two new teams, both did well.

I don’t have much in the way of team comments to add this week but I am sure they will come from next week.

As the figures below show, we had a good balance between A and B questions. Nobody swapped at the mid point, good choice in a couple of matches were a fair deficit was turned into a victory.

Both final questions of the Pop Music Covers round were not answered.
