Where previous round games have not been played both players have been given half a point for the purpose of making the 7th round draw - when the games have been played both player's scores will be updated. These half-points are shown in player scores above - so some scores could potentially go down as matches from previous rounds are played. The number after the player's name indicates their current (provisional) score. Matt, Simon and Denzel joined the competition at the round 4 stage.

The following games from earlier rounds still need to be played:

Pete Smith	v	John Duff-Cole
John King	v	Simon Denney
Denzel Gonzales	v	Phil Daley
Luke Tatchell	v	Pete Smith
Martin Harris	v	Alex Welge
Luke Tatchell	v	Dave Chatfield
John Duff-Cole	v	Matt Stemp
Pete Smith	v	John King
Luke Tatchell	v	Pete Smith

 

Results on the top boards in round 6 saw wins for Svein Kjenner and Clive Bellinger in the chasing pack, but a win for Nathan Barnes means that he now can't be caught and has won the competition.

There is still a battle for the podium places with Clive and Svein currently occupying 2nd and 3rd - Martin Harris, Mark Johnson and Ed Goodman are also in contention.
