Very true indeed.... you see this is when the dreaded 3rd most popular choice comes into play and with it... zero points albeit it takes more playing or a harder round. Only 2 points between first and second involving 6 people, couldn't be much tighter.

Is there going to be a 'drink off' if there is a tie for first place?

Could always draw names from a hat....

pingwing · 21 Jan 2013 at 12:04

Lol the hat should draw a tiebreaker country! (or we all just have to find a hat beer as the tiebreaker)...

Or start at 'A' again..... BUT this time the object being to pick the most popular choice...

Ha! But then we are opening the door for underhand trust messages and match fixing... :eek:

silent · 21 Jan 2013 at 19:38

yes, you are right, 6 poss winners.

i'd be happy to do the beer round again but beers from uk or ireland beginning with the letters but we vote on the type of booze each wk.

i.e lager, real ale, cider, stout etc

Ahleckz · 21 Jan 2013 at 20:25

I think that we should devise some way of finding out 1 winner in the event of a tie. Maybe a drink off. 4 beers beginning with 'A' with a maximum price, same points system applies, whoever comes out on top wins?

As for the next competition I vote for alcohol % so week one will be 1 - 1.9%, week two will be 2 - 2.9% and so on.

In the event of a competition tie I'd vote for another *bonus round* where by only the participants that are tied are allowed to compete. The choice could be any one of the previous entries so far which "should" allow a large enough range to choose from with the eventual outcome being one clear winner?

I'd also be quite happy to compete in another beers of the world competition should we decide to proceed with this again? This time I'd be in at the start though. Given I joined this at roughly the half way stage and I'm pretty much half way up the points board I'm quite happy. Also, on the plus side I've had the chance to sample many new beers I wouldn't normally have tried. :cool:

i agree to all that. another beer of the world or beers from UK. either suits me. had some great beers overall from abroad but i also think we should vote on the countries at the start to enable those that want to order from an online retailer if there choices locally are pants, to order all in one go.

If the census is for a bonus round / rounds (no pun and all that) then so be it

As for another Beers of the World competition this was always my hope

~Mike~ · 22 Jan 2013 at 16:40

We definitely have to have some sort of 'drink off' or 'bonus round' in the event of a tie, which is highly likely.

Absolutely agree on another comp.

DirtyJester · 22 Jan 2013 at 17:02

Ok well I finish work tomorrow morning and I'll have a think about what we can do for a potential bonus round / drink off. Please feel free to post your suggestions

silent · 23 Jan 2013 at 10:43

drink off - how about selecting a region of uk or country with a lowish amount of beers available at a supermarket/corner shop only, the one that doesn't get the same as the others win's. i'm not talking about thailand though. a country or place in uk with about 4 beers.
