Andy and Dougy both agree that my calculations were correct

Thanks very much Gary for running these tournaments - would have been very hard to get FM without them.
I had a great time in Kirkcaldy and it seemed to run very smoothly for everyone as far as I could tell - looking forward to the next one I am able to play.
