Harry,
I have just seen the round 1 results. The round 2 are being sent to me.
The draw they had to make for round 2 was probably the worst case set of results possible. I have made a prediction on paper on what they did.
6 games, 1 draw, 5 Black team wins. That is as bad as doing a draw can be!! Each team needs to be white and Black in a day which made the arbiters job very hard.
David Congalton tried very hard to get a scratch team together to avoid this and play as NAC. It was not to be. If anyone could have pulled it off, David could. We always try to get an even number of teams even if we have to resurrect a team from Glynis' school to fill in. The school was on holiday which meant we couldn't (Glynis really tried to get a team as a filler)
We hate having byes, Nothing annoys us more than a team having to sit out. We try as hard as we can to avoid it but sometimes things happen outwith our control.
Saw the giant killer. All I can say is WOW!
