Okay,
At the end of the tournament a large number of teams had voted for
Spirit, although not all. We were faced with a three way tie,
complicated by the fact that all these teams were on three votes (a
total of seventeen teams were nominated). So tied were, K-Niggets,
Sharks and Sneeekys. And whilst the initial selection of K-Niggets
appeared rather arbitrary, they are a new team and so I made an
executive decision and decided to award the prize to them. They
weren't there; so we could either hold the spirit trophy and give it
later, or reward those hardy souls who had stayed. I then had the idea
of asking the crowd, who they would rather win, and the vote was
fairly unanimous.
So in answer to your question, they didn't win OUTRIGHT, and so we had
to split the tie (something we are doing a lot recently actually!).
For the tour SOTG all the nominated teams will get their full quota of
votes carried through.
Chris

Excuse me, but....I know things were a bit hectic at the end on
Sunday
evening, and I'm sure Sneeeky's were fine-spirited and all that, but
are
K-Niggets really being denied the Spirit award simply because there
was
no-one from their team within earshot as Chris did the spiel. Either
the team with most Spirit votes was K-Niggets and they should be
recognised as such, or they weren't, in which case why were they
originally announced as winners? SOTG deserves a little more respect
imho.
Apart from that, great tourney, through the wind and the rain...
