January 2008 Team Tournament

Judgement Day

I shall take a deep breath...and announce...
UK & Commonwealth won the first battle of 2008

And written for eternity in the Book of Legend in the Hall of Flame goes these stats... famous gladiatorial players who fought in the deadly arenas called the Challenge and the Mogul.

The Incrimminating Stuff
The Mogul Results
USA fielded 30 troopers and won 4250 pts = 45.5%
UK & Co fielded 38 players and won 5090 pts = 54.5%
UK & Co won the Mogul by 9% or 840 pts.
(That's the biggest lead ever....)

First blood to the UK & Co

Challenge Results
USA won 15301 pts with 67 players = 43% of the crumbs
UK & Co won 19694 pts with 65 players = 57% whopping big slices of cake!
UK & Co win...USA hang your heads in shame.

Grand Total....
USA = 45%
UK & Co = 55%.....That's a UK & Co landslide victory of 10%

Is this going to be the shape of things to come 2008? I think not...mos623 and the american army must surely be holding emergency talks at HQ. Thing is...though the americans have pulled out all the stops this last week or so and come romping home, armed to the hilt...I think maybe there was just too much ground to make up.
New month...new battle now...all the trenches will be re-dug.
All the usual nuggets are info are listed after this...the stuff that can be painful ro read...or a joy...depending on who you are.
