Results from tonights Mixed Doubles Badminton - Apologies that the format isn't the same as Simons but my first attempt timed out, arrrghhh!!! Well done all
TKP's official protest regards to event 3rd of August.
29th – Swimming 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay How deep can you run in the 19:00 £100 Guaranteed Freeroll? (4 representatives per team, medals awarded on cumulative scores)
3rd –Badminton, Mixed Doubles One male and one female from each team fight it out in the 20:15 £3.30 mini open (Two representative per team one male and one female)
9th – Beach Volleyball Teams of two take on the 14:00 £3.30 £50 Guaranteed (Two representatives per team, medals awarded on cumulative scores)
No where for the third of August does it say cumulative score. Therefore best score has to be accepted in my opinion. Based on that logic
Gold goes to Mrs_Balti (Team Hitsquad A) - no protest for change
Silver goes to Roguecell (Team KnightPoker) - Protest

I understand your point Don, unfortunately I'm just helping Simon out for a few days while he's away so he will have to confirm when he's back. As you pointed out all other events with more than 1 player states that it's cumulative scoring. I see no reason why last night would have been any different, this may have possibly been missed from the description. These things happen as we're all aware.
If I am wrong then I'll apologise and scoring will be amended, unfortunately that isn't going to be until Tues/Wed.

There is no mention of representatives per team, but I'm sure we'll all assume it's one. My example of how mistakes can easily be made! Have a good weekend everyone.
To address this issue seriously as a witness, as Simon & Lisa, voleentered & were delegated to suggest this to forum & run this for us all in a true forum spirit!!
I can see that there may be a grey area now, but All I spoke too were aware that it would be a doubles cumulative score all along!! And if anyone had any doubts they should have addressed this before the start!
On my table & in chat, this was asked at start & during tournie and it was explained that both scores count, which would have been witnessed by many, including defo maxally & possibly Clare!!
In fact rite throughtout tourney the banter was about the cumulative scores, until the very end, when someone brought this up!! I must admit I found it quite off-putting when they did, but hey, forgotten now!!
Can I politely suggest, we move on in The Forum Olympic Spirit!!
I Congrajulate Clare & lee on their superb performances, and feel it's for the best if this does not escalate any further!!
I wait for Simon to ajudcate officially as he has thrown the most time into it, but result seems fair to me, despite protest, which i can see point, but post tournie seems slightly flawed!!
Just My opinion NO OFFENCE Don, TKP!!
GL!!
ps. in Simons early workings & suggestions, it was clear that All multiple events scores would be cumulative, sorry it is clearly just a oversight if it was not in header, also it does not say highest scorer counts, does it either, so hope with common sense this is understood!
I will happily accept whatever is decreed Hitman but please don't call us unOlympic for wanting to look at it!
Had a lot of fun last night and a HUGE thank you to all who railed (and that was loads of you) - was getting myself in a serious knot trying to play, rail Maxy (wiiiiiiiiii) and keep an eye on the rest of you. GG ALL xx

TY Clare, can i assure you i was not calling you or TKP Un-Olympic at all!! in fact have found you to be the opposite, and always enjoy sharing table or chat with you!!
my post was......hmmmmm....an attempt at problem prevention, am happy for Simon to look at protest as he is away for day or two, I will leave it to him!!
just did not want to see this escalate into a bigger issue which can happen when lots of others start posting when not aware of all facts maybe!!
Have great day XX, & Good Luck All taking part tonight!
PS hope to see you in my THS Omaha Donk-a-fun tonight!! [PPS Don90 is barred, lol!!]
Fwiw Hitman i didnt even look properly at all events in advance apart from my own, one of which i had to pull out of. This was brought up to me and as a team we opted to put a friendly protest as it was i feel. I know this is for some fun and thats how it should be imo.
I fully respect those giving up free time to give something for everyone else.
Firstly, thank you Lisa for stepping in for Simon to collate and update the tables.Work like this often goes unnoticed, so cheers.
Secondly, I think this TKP official protest, if handled correctly, is justified. I will of course, like the rest of our team will, accept any decision made but I would like clarification 1st. The Olympic spirit will be respected.
Thirdly, thanks to Simon for organising this and as there are no prizes, thanks to all forum regs (whatever team they maybe) for taking part.
Meanwhile, I am lodging a protest about the badmington as well!! I am sure Maxally [TKP], is deliberatley losing to me in these team challenges and IT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!
NEWSFLASH!!! It always the badmington is'nt it!! Meanwhile, I am lodging a protest about the badmington as well!! I am sure Maxally [TKP], is deliberatley losing to me in these team challenges and IT IS NOT RIGHT!!!! I vote The South Stoke Korean TKP be Thrown out!! Posted by HITMAN_RV
i have noticed that about maxally too. but there's no way of proving it. he disguises any brilliance so well. a natural.
I just spoke to Gail Emms and she said that mixed doubles is a TEAM event as the TEAM of two are on court at the same time as a TEAM, and as a TEAM event the TEAM scores are cumulative seemples ;p
Message from Simon!! Who is at the Olympics and has met the olympic Commitee.....
Simon " If I haven't put cumulative on the event description it's just an oversight, my intention was that all multiplayer events were team efforts so of course scores are cumulative. Thanks Lisa, glad you're getting the controversy not me "
Kofi says......"The result stands, now can we hang Don90!!"
Kofi, such a diplomat!!
Sorry TKP, we understand, but on consultation with various team players, seems everyone knew it was cumulative, as did solack & defo all on my table!!
Misunderstandings happen, sry, we shall endeavor to make sure this event we run for the community has no more grey areas!!
.....& we are banning badmington from all future Olympic events!!
If anybody still has issues, Kofi, told me to tell them....."SHUTTLECOCKS!!!"
