I have been informed my list is OK but my date was wrong

Ha. Amateur.

My list has just been deemed correct

Ours was marked as correct, but we spotted an error and told them it was in fact wrong.

So, in "List Top Trumps" I think we have the winner...

Confirmation came this evening! Better get painting!

I need to organise accommodation. Where are people staying this year?

Quite a few of us are booked in at the 3 Queens http://www.3queenshotel.co.uk

Yep, a few of us in there as well.

Thanks guys, the madaxeman e-mailed me and I have booked into the 3 Queens. (There goes the neighbourhood).

For those so inclined this is opposite a very fine micro brewery - The Burton Bridge

The Devonshire Arms is also just down the road from the town hall.

If you like proper beer then you should be OK

Simon

It is indeed a good pub with good beer

Both sell mighty fine random fizzy lager too for those of us who can't stand that muck... lol

Hi There
Was just wondering if theres a list of the runners available yet.
Dave

It'd be the first time ever for Burton IIRC

In the past you have been lucky to get results, never mind runners and riders

Doesn't stop it being a great comp though.

I liked my result from the last game last year - I don't think anyone else has ever scored 33 points from a single FoG game

Well not with a 25-0 scoring system anyway.

I scored 32 and 37 out of 32 in the Derby round of the Northern league and there was no accounting error involved

Still amateurish.

I managed to amass 71 points from the last round of the Northern Doubles

I also notice you STILl HAVEN'T SORTED OUT THE RESULTS FROM BURTON AND GOT MY RESULTANT RANKING CORRECT!

Dave

And your point is?

The advantage of doing the rankings is that one can delay publishing the effect of one's poor results, and speed up publishing your successes. What's the point of having power unless you can abuse it?

At least the rankings don't come with a table showing how many 6s each player rolled to get the ranking...

Dave is grumpy because the published results from last year's Badcon have Nik scoring 33 points in the last round. This means Dave finished 10th rather than the 9th he should have been had Nik scored a more traditional score. While one place in one competition might not seem a lot in practice it makes the difference between Dave finishing 10th in the end of year rankings and 9th. For some reason Dave seems to think that 9th is better than 10th

So, will it be pistols (sorry "firearms") at dawn if it gets down to a place at the ITC? Are there any POAs?

Paul

I should have a POA, but seemingly don't....
