Nik G is the highest ranked player with a 3 number player id
Looking at the official rankings it shows Nik at sixth having played in four tournaments. I stand by my original claim for highest ranking with three tournaments.

errrrr his player id is 100

your player id is 72

So my Top 5 predictions

Jason
Laurence
Hunter
John
Nik

You are going to have raptors explain your logic to me. What has player ID got to do with how many tournaments has played in during the last twelve months.

The higher the player id the more recently the player joined the MeG tournament scene. Simples

I agree with that totally but it was not the subject under discussion. I could be playerID number one but that is not a reflection in any way of the number of competitions played.
The point you were disputing was my contention that Hunter was the highest ranking player who had only played two games and I was the highest only having played three. Your view was that Nik had only played three which if you check the rankings was not an accurate statement as he is clearly shown as having played four. The rankings also back up my statement.
Interesting the blessed Mr Hall is player ID 36 or so but is seventeenth in the rankings because like myself he has only played in three tournaments.
On this point we would like to have a tournament in Scotland but there seems a reluctance for players to travel from South of the border. Come on guys, it is not like North of the wall in Game of Thrones and indeed we would lock up the White Walkers for that weekend.

Before you put your neck out any further read my post.  If you say I disputed your point prove it.  I didn't quote you I made a separate point.  Wind your neck in.

Ok accept that you made a different point  but as mentioned above player ID is  pretty irrelevant. I could be player ID no 1 but not play a game for a whole year.
Time to draw the curtain other than inviting you across the border.

As I explained. Player id indicates when the player played their first MeG tournament.  A relevant point to the discussion.

We can agree to disagree on that.

After a fine 82% completion rate with 3hrs +- 5 minutes does anyone have any objection to moving to that for Britcon?

Flat 3 hours IMO - no need for variable.

Ray is making a subtle and totally valid point.

Dudes - you are all making valid points.  Now stop hijacking my thread with sensibleness and get back to the childish jibber jabber that is my mainstay!

Ray
Thanks for the vote of confidence.  Can I take it your entry for the competition within a competition is that "Simon has every confidence that Hunter ...... will finish 3rd at Britcon".

If so I am content that we are already well on course to return to an acceptable nonsense quotient.

I think we need a public vote on this issue.
