Well done West Midlands on a great win.

Congratulations to West Midlands on their well deserved win.

It really is all about quality, not quantity.

That the West Midlands line up is high on quality is indisputable. Nonetheless, that statement is simply not factual.

The seasons results may confirm that quality can be sufficient to overcome a slightly less than 2/1 numerical disadvantage so maybe we"ve identified the maximum allowable tolerance for numerical superiority.

Meanwhile in division 2, a stellar performance from team Dublin players who placed 1st and 2nd in the individual table and placed 3 of the top 10 spots yet finished tied bottom of 5 teams in the Team table.

Not to overshadow an awesome performance, again, from The West Midlands team but please dont use the result to justify or ignore the flaws in the format.

Fair enough - the format is clearly not perfect, and I"m confident that Des, Rich, et al, will take it to the next level in S6

The better (i.e. chasing the prizes) teams will continue to have more players than those at the foot of the table....were we at the bottom, I doubt we would have had 13 players last night.....but then again we might.
 I try my best to get numbers for every game and the fact that we are mostly friends and BCPC club members does us no harm at all.
 That said, I refuse to apologise for our continued success. We played by the rules in 5 seasons and won 4 of them.

Quality won the day, and it, if it ever was needed that you need quality to come through 16 weeks. Our quanity helps us for sure, but I would like to stress we do have a few good players ourselves we aren"t just about numbers... Just our quality wasnt as good as West Mids quality.

You don"t win it 4/5 without skill

Would be interesting to see what the points would have been if Birmingham and Walsall played individually. WM players at the top always seem to be the ex-brum guys. I think Birmingham might have squeaked the league on their own. Ironic really.

Looking at our performance stats, 6 of our top 8 are ex-Bham, 1 is ex-Walsall, and 1 is a newbie (who would have been Bham).

Minor point - assuming I"m the "1 newbie" you"re referring to, I"d have been Walsall not Brum.

Either way... woohoo!

No - thought Craig was the new member, and thought you were Brum. Shows what I know then lol

It doesn"t matter where Leeds are in the league, if I am in I will play the game for the fun of it, as it happens for the last few games I have been out and this week 3 Leeds players were at the same live tournament, so our numbers were poor. But for $10 these are great tournaments to play.

Well done to Brian and the team, look forward to locking horns next season in Div 1
