All twenty players have arrived and round 1 is underway

It did take a lengthy search of the high street to locate one of the players though

Any chance of a listing of what those seeking norms would need to score?

Round 1 results and games are now online at http://www.gingergm.com/bigslick.

Norm requirements are stated on the website.
