    Another great tournament, thanks Omack. And good to see that at least the second best flag won after the travesty that befell the Isles of Scilly.

    how many votes were cast in the final?
    Trigger wrote: »
    For 53% I would say 17.. 9-8 would leave it 53-47

    Here's how it went down...

    Merionethshire took a commanding 5-0 lead through bubblypop, Trigger, Electric Nitwit, cdeb and ari101. Many expressed their contempt for Connacht I might add.

    ohnonotgmail, Redsoxfan, SineadSpears and Purgative pulled it right back for the Irish making it 5-4!

    ShaneU put a stop to the comeback when he went with the goats. 6-4

    Necro and BrianBoru00 levelled it all up then. 6 vs Half a dozen.

    JP Liz gave put Connacht in the lead for the first time with her vote. 7-6

    davetherave, Cosmo Kramer and Zaph went with the Welsh then to restore their spot on top. 9-7

    ScoobyDosent clawed one back then for the Westerners making it 9-8. Neck and neck stuff.

    Kathleen Grant (and possibly the Grant Jury) went with Merionethshire and widened the gap. 10-8

    Pawwed Rig cast a late vote for Connacht making it 10-9.

    :mad::mad:Rematch please- Merionethshire photograph on the final match program was far more flattering than the shuttershock branded connacht one

    Decent Connaught flags are extremely hard to find. I was finding Peruvian hamlets handier. We would have had a lot more silkies on show if the Irish entries fell earlier :P

    Thank you Omack. These are my favourite thing on Boards. I was not as involved as usual because health was not 100%. As usual you ran a great show.

    Looking forward to the next one.

    Yeah, I know :o

    Juggling a toddler and a baby while selling a house, trying to manage the builders of our new build and job hunt at the same time. It's not a bad excuse ;)

    You shouldn't be juggling your toddler and baby. Report going in to TusLa. Stick to balls or fruit. Or swords.:D :D:D

    ....

    I'd like it noted there was no contempt in my anti-homeland vote ;) I love the Connacht flag but I also thought the goats were class :D I would have been happy with either outcome.

    Thanks again mack, some great debate and some interesting flags :D

    I have 4 more Ultimate Flag tournaments drawn up folks. So that's June, July, August, September covered as it stands. Also have a decent Boardsies Decide Tournament in the head which I think will get some good traction.

    Missed the final, but I would have voted against Connacht for Merionethshire, so I'm happy with the result.

    FYP. I don't get the love for Scilly. Marshall Islands is great though, but Scilly, apart from some colour similarities isn't really that similar as they're in very different proportions.

    Thanks OMack, another great tournament, look forward to the next one.
