But here's the "problem" with the whole thing, right? Headrush went from 10 to 7 without playing a game; Hammerage retained 6 by playing 11; Headrush then defeated Hammerage in the 6 v 7 game (I have no idea of whether this was close, or not) Who can tell what the last result would have been if it had been the second game of the day for both teams? I guess we'll never know. Chris Hughes, as Director of Competitions, _did_ try to rearrange the 5-12 teams on Saturday night*, but the effort didn't come off, due to the difficulties of communicating to all the necessary teams in the required time... The Official Decisions have been made. Some people are happier than others. We ALL need to work on the improvements for the future. Wayne Retter additional musings, entirely hypothetical: * and then Druids would have benefitted from the 5 v 12 bye, and then 8 [ironically: Headrush, if they'd won their first game...**] could have griped...! ** Would this have been against Red (?) - who they actually lost to...
