Re: 1998 All England Masters

Yyou asked for comments Tim...

Seems to me that once again, there is likely to be much post contest
discussion. And maybe rightly so. This 'new tack' certainly through up it's own
controversies. What can we say about Mr Brand..........? Did he really think he
would be that far off the mark of the other two before he started? Is he adrift
of anding in the 90's or is he simply looking for something else? Maybe he's
right and the other two are wrong? (I doubt that but you never know!)

At the end of the day I thikn this is a good system. Surely the 'good
adjudicator' will show through if this system is perseverd with. (If of course
there is such a species!)

Still beats me though how a band can be placed 1st by two and 13th by another?

Still contesting was never really clear to me I suppose!

Thanks for the detailed results anyway - well done!
