Many congratulations to Oxford A, BBU A, Vilnius A, the Ireland Masters and all the individual winners. Many, many thanks to you Colm for your wonderful, informative and timely blog which helped those of us who couldn't be there appreciate what a fantastic tournament it was and what splendid hosts are the Cork people!
To the best of my knowledge the split was between Oxford A and Harvard. First vote as i understand went 4-3-2 Harvard-Oxford A-Oxford C and then in the 2nd vote the 2 Oxford C judges went for Oxford A.
Yay!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments. I didn't get a chance to respond because I use my phone and e-mail in the posts but can't actually access the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think about that judgement? Was it that close for you?
