Discuss.

Hey-ho. We've bern cumulatively so bad 

I wonder if pschologically the choices offlerred of 1 through to 18 and '19 plus' gravitated folk to choices, while mainly still in the higher echelons of these options, steering clear of the the very top ones, as if it was stretching things more than it really was.

I myself pulled back from my initial thought which was 25 - OK, it was really 18, and it ended as a kind of either or 17/18 and I ended up going less out of line.

 i wondered that as well - in the past I had offered "bands" and gone up into the 20's but the last two slams we had been so poor and, to be frank, I had completely forgotten about mixed. So I thought there was no chance of beating 20 and went with lower numbers. Misjudgment!
