Seamus 23 : 2 George
David B 5 : 20 Robert
Tim 16 : 4 Jeremy
Daniel 23 : 2 David S

There were some interesting games.
David S discovered why Caeser conquered Gaul in a relatively short time (he must have been using the same dice as Daniel). The fact that Daniel had two steep hills perfectly positioned on each flank of his battle line when David was using HF also helped.

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).
