To answer Walters question, Going forwards we will have a Senior Champion and either an Over 50 or Over 65. The second prize will be determined from the age of the person who wins the first.
One of the issues I considered when I first read Craig's complaint was in allowing Over 65s the Over 50 title, we are bizarrely discriminating against people aged 50-64 so any solution that we came up with had to address this as well.
Glad to say we have a resolution and can move on and celebrate what appears to have been a successful tournament. Thanks Craig for being so understanding while we were sorting this out. I hope Craig does not mind me revealing this but given some of the criticism I have seen of him posted, I feel it is correct to. Craig in his complaint to us insisted that both Colin and Roddy be allowed to keep the prize money, he had no interest in claiming the prize money for the Over 50 award. I hope this addresses the comments I have seen on this.
I am going to take this evening off to spend some time with my Family, I have been working late most nights helping Alex with the admin side and I have a little boy who is desperate to play the new skylanders he got for his birthday with me. Depending on how tired I am tomorrow, I may take tomorrow evening off. If you have mailled me about anything and I have not replied, you will get a reply on Weds. Please get any corrections to grading into me and I will compile and resend to Dougie on Weds (we have arranged this) I need some time out after the last 9 days
