Report
The Allegro League was won this year by Balerno with a Board Score of 44 (79%) achieved by winning 11 matches drawing 2 and losing once to Civil Service. Second were Edinburgh with a Board Score of 35.5 (63%). Considering the substantial difference between champions and runners up it is not surprising that Balerno players feature prominently in the list of individual board winners.
Board 1 - Chris McIntee (Balerno) 11
Board 2 - Jonathon Edwards (Balerno) 11.5
Board 3 - Brian Duncan (Sandy Bells) 8
Board 4 - David Watt (Balerno) 12
It was disappointing that Civil Service defaulted on two nights
and have indicated that they will not enter a team next season. With
10 teams in the league each playing 7 opponents over seven nights
cancellation of the Civil Service results would have resulted in two
teams playing two more matches than the others. The League rules state
that scoring is on game points scored implying all teams playing the
same number of matches. It would be prudent to consider percentage
scores if this situation arose again. On this occasion cancellation
of the Civil Service results would have merely increased the gap between
the first and second teams going into the final night and only made
one minor change to the other placings. It was therefore decided to
encourage them to complete the season.
I have suggested to Civil Service that they consider entering a composite
team next season with another club who are not in the league at present.
