Episode Beardown

Episode Beardown was an exhibition of Callum Todd's Beardown format. It was broadcast on YouTube on 3 January 2021.

Rounds were played to 35 seconds.

Some of the letters maxes are disputable on account of how one might be able to actually identify physical manifestations of them.
