Hi Tim

>>I have come to a psychological conclusion about brass band
players.  They will ALWAYS question the decision...not just at contests.<<

Does appear to be a "sound" theory!<G>

>>Listen to this for a miscarriage of justice.  First of all, the winning
team had 6 players, when the rules clearly stipulated there should be no
more than four.<<

Didn't realise this but sometimes it works to a team's disadvantage! Too
many different answers. Amington with 2 team members were doing pretty well
until the last couple of rounds

>>(perhaps the golf experts can help us here) - the question was 'What do
the ancient rules stipulate about the venue for the British Open golf
championship?'  We answered 'It must be played on a links course'  which
is a course on the coast.  He gave the answer that is must be in sight
or sound of the sea and wouldn't accept our answer!<<

I haven't managed to find the answer to this but i do think you were hard
done by....especially as you got the same points for this as us (ie zero)
and we put something like a course with a par of 72 or less.


>>kept saying over and over 'We should have won
tonight.  We should have won tonight.'  How many times have I heard that
one before in a slightly different brass banding situation?<<

Not often enough in Stourport!<G>

>>a few other brass band list members at the quiz - Phil and Maureen from
Fodens, Mike and Dave from Stourport and Darryl from City of Birmingham.
I'm sure they can appreciate the sense of injustice we all feel at the
present time (despite the fact we thrashed them all)  :)<<

Commisserations! Perhaps Sovereign should organize the next one and invite
Birmingham! ;-)

Well done on the moral victory...but I think "thrashed" is just a little
harsh?<GG>

Good luck to Sovereign for Reading!....Looks like if you turn up you've got
a good chance<G> (8 bands left ATM?)
