I asked Phil to post these, but clearly he was too traumatised to do it...

Why isn't Graham at the top? He was the only player to win all 5 of his games.

[timmy1]

Because dave_r was doing the counting...?

This raises a good point. This doesn't happen very often, but when it does it would be good to have a consistent way to resolve it so people know in advance what will happen. I'll start a separate thread.

More seriously from a post by dave_R in the RnR thread for this comp.

'
Me and Graham finished equal on points at the top, but I won the tie-breaker. We believe this was because the only player we had in common was Graham Evans and I got 13 points and Graham (Briggs) got 12 against Graham (Evans).

Yes that's the reason. Dave and I didn't play each other but we did have one opponent in common. There are several ways to do it (for example, Mascot got 3 army breaks to my 2).

It might be better to have an agreed way to do this, as having to decide a method there and then is a headache that the organisers could do without I imagine.

No no no - this is completely wrong it should be 'Graham and I finished equal on points at the top....'

And on the other point there were better ways of deciding it:

Who is taller - Graham
Who is more colourfully dressed - Graham
Who is the Southerner - Graham

[grahambriggs]

I did suggest we settle it by wrestling. Mascot wasn't keen.

[timmy1]

You could have organised a popularity poll but I suspect you would have won that as well Graham...

[grahambriggs]

You do have to give Dave some kudos for getting his knights charged in the rear by elephants three times and beating them three times.

Maybe I should add "Who was the luckiest" to my tiebreak options?

Interestingly, when I click the FoG results I get taken to the DBMM results.

Did Phil Barker do that web page? People have been executed for less!

Was that deliberate so no one sees the results of a comp you might have come joint second in?

I can think of no other alternative explanation.

Maybe it's only you...the FoG results come up when I look..?

Or to put another way - it's been fixed now
