Finals

30th Birthday Championship
Rawlinson returned in 2013, as one of 41 contestants that took part in the 30th Birthday Championship.
He won his first match against Ed McCullagh, after beating him on a second conundrum by 104 – 94.
Rawlinson then beat Andrew Hulme by 98 – 91 on a crucial conundrum, after he unscrambled HOTFRAPPS.
After defeating Tom Rowell, his next match was against Neil Zussman and he was one point short from achieving a max game in his quarter-final.
He then played against Jack Hurst in an epic semi-final. The battle remained level for the first ten rounds before Rawlinson took a six-point lead which became a one-point deficit, a round later before Hurst nicked in with the conundrum of TURNMOIST after three seconds to win by 116 – 105.
