SIAS pool competition
This year the annual SIAS pool competition was held on 5 October at the Sports Café near Piccadilly Circus, as the old venue was unavailable. We had a record number of teams enter and eventually had to cap it at 42 teams of two.
All up we had more than a 100 people at the event, and the competition was fierce. Owing to the large number of teams the format was different from previous years – with progression or knock-out coming down to only one frame per round.
The evening ended around 10.30pm with KPMG8 winning the event. The team from KPMG (Ben McDonald and Mike Smedley) won the best of three frames final, each winning a bottle of champagne for their effort. The runners-up were the Skunk Rockers (Jez Burton and Matt Parish).
We also had a prize for the best team name, which was won by Cuex. The team with the most tasteless name was also awarded a prize but unfortunately their effort can’t be mentioned in a respectable magazine such as The Actuary.
