British Isles Cup Redux - FINALS - Cotswold vs RZSS

[pipaluk]

What does the buffy headed capuchin enclosure look like at Edinburgh ? I can't remember if these were there when I visited.

They are still in the monkey house I think? Sub-standard enclosures for anything but marmosets really!

Well, ridiculously easy win for Edinburgh, and I guess they win the Cup. This should have been closer though and I think people seem to have conveniently ignored the americas category which Cotswold won comfortably!The margin of victory is probably irrelevant though as Edinburgh only needed to win

This should have been closer though

It's roughly a 62/38 split - so it's actually not too far from the result that would have been produced had I not dropped the three-vote system (assuming the pro-Cotswold voters had went 2/1 and the pro-RZSS voters had went 2/1) which would have been a 57/43 split.

I think I put forward a pretty good case for the quality of the Americas offering at RZSS countering the lack of quantity, personally. I *did* spend quite a bit of time on the topic, far from ignoring it....

Sub-standard enclosures for anything but marmosets really!

And yet pretty akin in quality to a fair few of the primate exhibits at Cotswold Wildlife Park as I already noted, the Siamang exhibit there is rather smaller than the Drill one in the aforementioned monkey house, which you deem sub-standard for anything but a marmoset.

To be fair we have agreed on most things recently so I won't bother arguing this much further! I still think 4-1 was excessive though

Oh yes, to be fair, that was really quite impressive how you almost managed to manipulate that. Well, see you at the next World Cup

In the meantime however, thank you so much for voluntarily organising this cup, I'm sure it did offer a good many people some kind of distraction in this time of desolation as well as, of course, a very interesting and thought-provoking series of threads. Thank you
