Hi All,

I was just calculating the RINIWA (Ireland) Player of the Year league for 2008 (we're a bit late, oops) and I noticed some interesting stats: the introduction of DBMM and FOG have been good for us in terms of overall player numbers.

In 2007, we had 34 local players participating in our events (DBM only). This represented a drop-off from the height of
DBM here which would have been circa 45-50 active players.

In 2008, where we ran a mix of DBM (until June), DBMM and FOG (both from July) events we had a total of 46 local players participating.

under our new system based on competition placings
in DBM, FOG and DBMM, the 2008 Player of the Year is:

David Taylor - well done!

Apologies for the delay. The Most Improved Player Award is
to follow.

Please see below for the full league table:
The max score under this system is 100, it is based on
your best 4 competition results during the year. Two
events were not included: Quads 08 (no data available)
and DGG Winter League 08/09 (as it straddles the
year-end it is hard to include in a fair way under this
system).

I heard at the Munster Open that this event is likely to be canceled/delayed... please advise if this is not the case

well after my unexpected success in Cork here is a brief report:
