WTC 2010/11 AGM Results

Good show last week lads, with Barnsey, Browner, Claude, Jugs, Rodders, Sniffer and the reigning WTC Champion Stan in attendance. As you may recall through your drunken haze, we did actually discuss what we would do this coming year and you all had until last night (in the end) to submit your suggested pubs.

Before I reveal the completed list, let us first go through some of the other decisions we've made.

Attendance
6 weeks non-attendance results in being blackballed, unless you can provide a suitable written excuse in no less than 200 words.

Pub Selection
Pub selection will be made via a roll of the dice each week and should be passed onto whoever will be in attendance.

Seasons
We will have three "seasons" of competition with the dividing time betwwen each league will be the BST changover. Therefore for this year, the split is as follows:

Winter League 1  13/01/2011 up to and including the 24/03/2011 (11 Weeks)
Summer League  31/03/2011 up to and including the 27/10/2011 (31 Weeks)
Winter League 2  03/11/2011 up to and including the 22/12/2011 (8 Weeks)

The 29/12/2011 is reserved for the Christmas do and results and the 05/01/2012 will be next years AGM.

Naturally we should expect the summer season to be the most disjointed due to summer holidays and the use of good weather and light evenings for other events outside of the WTC. Of course, what you choose to do only effects your scores and your chances of taking home the big prizes (as well as the kudos) at the end of the year. I'm sure Stan will happily regale you of stories regarding his major win this year and perhaps inspire you to re-double your efforts for next year.

There will be seasonal mini-awards with a small court session held on the first week on the following season.

Scoring
Once again we will be scoring each of the pubs we visit, but we are simplifying the scoring somewhat this year. There will now only be 5 categories with each category scoring either a zero, one or three points as follows:

• Birds & Barmaids (The Totty Factor)
• Batmosphere (Do I like sitting in this pub?)
• Billiards & Barryoke (Entertainment)
• B.F.M. (Beer, Food & Money Quality)
• Bovril (Boverall) 

This means the maximum any establishment can score is 15 points. As last year, this will be totalled and divided by the number of attendees and the normalised to a maximum of 5 (for reporting) on the following basis:

• Score between 00-03 = 1 Star
• Score between 04-06 = 2 Stars
• Score between 07-09 = 3 Stars
• Score between 10-12 = 4 Stars
• Score between 13-15 = 5 Stars

The League Table
This means I'm happy to report that the league tables now look as follows:

Quiz Night.
We've also decided that on the 4th Thursday of each month we will visit the Norwood Arms for the pub Quiz. That means that this year, quiz night will be on the following nights. Put them in your diary now!

27/01/2011	26/05/2011	22/09/2011
24/02/2011	23/06/2011	27/10/2011
24/03/2011	28/07/2011	24/11/2011
28/04/2011	25/08/2011	22/12/2011

This leaves us with 38 weeks to fill with pubs from the list. And speaking of the list....  Special thanks to Stan, Claude and Rod for submissions - and what a bunch of useless bananas the rest of you are for not even feckin bothering. Herberts the lot of you!....
