News - New Leader for Ladder

Round 2 of the ladder competition saw The Masters (mastersg, tuckaway, clientje, cyber, ikanarat) jump to the top rung. A very tight match against incumbants Trans Global saw The Masters one imp behind with one board to go. A defensive error allowed a 3S part score to slip through meaning that a 1 imp gain (which would have left the match drawn) became a 7 imp gain and a 33-27 win for The Masters. According to the rules a draw would have left Trans Global at the top, but alas, it wasn't to be.

A remarkable feature of this round was that all matches were close with the biggest winning margin being 7 imps in the super tight match where the Western Gals beat the Snakes 9-2.

Another interesting feature is that for the second week in a row the only match that has seen a change in ladder position has been the battle for the top spot. This is quite surprising given that the starting ladder position was a reverse seeding. I'm afraid to say that tarakiwi's Central Climbers have been left languishing at the bottom for the second week in a row. We're now contemplating a change of name! :-)

The full results for tonights matches will be posted on this site very shortly.
