Thank you for the numbers Hunted.

The first game of the semi-finals saw a straight forward win for Trading Places, and will now be the first movie, of three, to have a place in the competitions Grand Final. Saying goodbye to the competition, much to my chagrin, is The Goonies and Naked Gun, well played to both for making it to the latter stages, but mercy and sympathy does not exist in this dojo.
