Appearances
Series 89 Heat games
He made a shaky debut, albeit with a century against two-time winner Jan Scowcroft, only maxing out in three of the numbers rounds in the process. After that, he then racked up seven more consistent performances; those remaining heat wins also ended with century scores and with an average of 9 rounds maxed per game.
With a high of 128 points, which also included the only 9-letter spot of his heats in PREDATION, and a low of 102 which was achieved twice, Finnerty has one of the most consistent runs of preliminary scores among non-Apterous subscribers. In fact, it was the second-highest non-Apto octotal during the Apterite era, with only Stephen Briggs having a higher score.
After wrapping up with 10-maxes in his last game and an eighth century to his name, Mark racked up a final tally of 876 points. This gave him an average of 109.5 per game, and set him up as the provision No.1 seed; as a final note, those points were also the lowest total where all the scores were centuries, tallying just under the 882 that Toby McDonald achieved roughly 6 years prior.
