Further down the page you'll find a link to the
questions used in the final of this year's 'Champion of Champions'
knock-out competition.
This season's final
was staged on 26th April 2000. The venue was the Lee Brigg Working Men's
Club, St Mary's Road, Altofts (Normanton). The event, staged along
with the final of our inaugural Plate contest (for those teams
eliminated in the early stages of the search for this year's Champion
of Champions) and the presentation of League trophies, drew some 100
or so spectators.
The main event - the Champion of Champions contest - was won by the Branch
Road Inn of Greetland (Halifax). The same team won the competition in
1999, playing as the Travellers' Inn from Elland. Anyway, in
2000 they defeated the New Inn of Walton, Wakefield.
The match was fairly even up to half time, with only five points separating
the two teams as they went into the break (exactly the margin by which the
holders had trailed at half-time the year before). However, in the second half
the Branch stormed to victory, only missing two of their questions in the
final four rounds, while stealing no fewer than six of their opponents'!
The aggregate score in the match was 131. This, coming from a possible
maximum of 164, represents a strike rate of 79.9%; a very impressive proportion
indeed & a slight improvement on the aggregate of 79% reached in the 1999
final.
