Southampton Results
-------------------
Fortunately (sort of!) we had got through enough games
on Sunday to be able to place teams quite well
(except for final games obviously).
Laurence has already written some report of all that
happened - and I'm not about to add to it - much.
Thanks to Andy Kayley and other Skunks and Southampton
players who were involved in organising the tournament.
But for the weather, things were going pretty well I
thought! And there's no denying that those pitches are
fantastic - and even I was seen to layout (well, fall over)
a couple of times.
Thanks also to everyone for their patience, etc in a most
unusual situation. Given that lightening apparently did
hit a pitch just after we stopped play I guess it was the
right decision.
Obviously many people will have realised that the tournament
also had a couple of hiccups before the weather hit! More
thanks to everyone who said nice soothing things to me as
I walked around tearing my (now-greying) hair out.
Apologies to anyone (most likely to be from Shotgun or Mythago)
to whom I was unduly rude!
So to the results... (Dave will use these to produce the latest
ranking positions and post them soon).
Where teams are level, they share the average number of points
for their positions. Hence for example Druids and Shotgun get
150 pts each.
see you in sunny Exeter! - don't forget to PAY - the deadline
has already passed - and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - if you are
going to have to pull out, warn us early.
ANYONE pulling out of Tour V too late, without EXCELLENT
reason, will be disqualified from Nationals.
Given the severity of the punishment, I believe that Kev is
happy for the pull-out deadline to be this w/e.
Si -

ps - if you think any of this is wrong - please get in touch -
we had to piece a few bits together...
pps - in the "panic" there was no spirit vote.
But my vote goes to Strange Blue, who late on Saturday evening
accepted several people's word for it that the score between
Village People and Headrush had in fact been 14-7 and NOT 14-6 as
recorded (and signed for) on the score sheet.
The results in the group meant that with the score at 14-7,
Village and Headrush went up, with Village carrying fwd a win
against Headrush; whilst had the score been 14-6 SB would have
gone through, carrying fwd their win against Village. With GunII
absent, the repurcusions of this decision could be as far reaching
as being the difference between qualifying in the top 8 at Nationals,
and not. Massive respect to SB for their legendary spirit.
OK - the almost-results:
1. Druids
Shotgun
3. Catch 22
Stan
5. Chevron
Oxford
7. Village People
Violently Happy
9. Headrush
Red J
11. Squawks
-----------
12. First Touch
SLUT
14. Blue AF
Jedi
16. GB Juniors
Strange Blue
18. Floating Bloke
Mythago
------------
20. Red (White and Blue) Lights
21. GB Women
22. Nightfever
23. Mud Culture
24. Skunks
25. Uriel
(The bottom 6 were playing round robin - carrying fwd
results from Saturday. As luck would have it, it was actually
possible to seperate the teams despite GBW, Nightf, and Mud
having a 3-way tie on games won.)
