Robert Violett

Robert Violett looks a bit like Garth Marenghi.

Robert Violett, also known as Bob was the runner-up of Series 5.

He only won two games in the heats before losing to Nicholas Thompson, but that was enough for him to return for the final rounds as #8 seed. He beat octochamp John Wallace in the quarter-final, scoring 67 points (the joint highest score of the series) and June Madell in the semi-final, before losing to Peter Evans in the final.

Violett did not play in Championship of Champions II, but did return for the Supreme Championship, losing his first game to Barry Grossman by just 6 points.

He is also competitive Scrabble player and has been awarded the title of expert by the ABSP.
