Results of 3rd Winter Minileague

This was another busy league, though activity levels were a bit down on the previous league - quite a few injuries and a few people citing work pressures as a reason for not playing their games. Still 181 games were played - the second highest in recent times.

The results of the league are here ..... 2009 Winter League 3

Well done to leagues 6, 7, 11 and 12 for all playing maximum games. The most competitive of these was definitely League 11, where everyone won 2 or more games. Alastair Ross won with 30 points and Ross McLennan was unlucky to come last with a very creditable 20 points!

Unbeaten players winning 4 or more games were Richard Van Lienden, new member Gordon Sloan, Stewart Robertson and young Joe Holborn, obviously too good for league 18!

Now that we have had 3 leagues, those in the running for Minileaguer of the Year are starting to become clear. All the contenders have played 100% of their games (there are 32 of those!) so going on total points score the top 3 are:

Richard Nisbet ... 93 points
Alastair Ross .... 90 points
Ian Fraser ....... 90 points

There are another 7 players who have scored 80 points or more, so lots of close competition. To have a chance of winning the overall prize, you will have to keep playing all your games! I am also looking for other justifications to award prizes - perhaps most improved player, or a category for new members - you'll just have to wait and see!

For the 4th league, we again have 109 players and a total of 18 leagues.

For those interested, here is the full set of new leagues ..... 2009 Winter League 4

I look forward to another busy and competitive league - there is an extra week this time to give you a chance to work off that Christmas pudding!

Enjoy your games
