Happy New Year and welcome to 2006 from the hpdp.org.au administrators. Here's the details that we've all been waiting for, from Phil, these are the 2005 Pool Comp Results:

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year to you all. I have finally updated the last few weeks of pool comp results for 2005. Top 10 in the final standings are:

Rank ~ Name ~ Points

1 ~ BRIAN BUDD ~ 208

2 ~ PHIL ~ 192.5 (Only one comp win behind D'oh!!!)

3 ~ PAUL Z ~ 144

4 ~ COL ~ 123.5

5 ~ BEN ~ 85.5

6 ~ DEAN ~ 80.5

7 ~ PT ~ 69.5

8 ~ JASE ~ 68

9 ~ ROELOF ~ 64

10 ~ JOSH ~ 60

Read on for more juicy details...Another consistent year from regular top 5 finishers Col, Dean, PT, Ben and yours truly - only Brian and Paul keeping Dean and PT out of the Top 5 again. Good work Ben, given you missed almost half the year.

The Best 20 weeks Comp finished as follows (Brian played 19 weeks, Paul played 15):

1 PHIL 169

2 COL 109

3 BEN 82

4 DEAN 68

14 HARRY 25

15 ALISTER 24

16 GEOFF 22

17 XAVIER 17

17 LAURIE 17

19 JOHN 15

I will be there for a comp tomorrow night. I understand there was even a 24 person comp run on the 28/12 - but I wouldn't know anything about that.

Oh - special mention to Jo Proctor who made it to 48 out of a possible 50 comps. PT, Mond, Dean, Roelof, John L and Col all also managed to rack up more appearances than I did (42 - thanks to Dean and Col who ran the comp in the weeks I couldn't be there).

Wishing you all a great 2006,

Phil
