I'm sorry, I really didn't know that. I thought the overall impression was being evaluated. In this, therefore, leads Cologne.
ZooChat Cup Group E: Cologne vs Pairi Daiza
- Thread starter CGSwans
- Start date
Given the above conversation, although it doesn't make any difference to the final result (Pairi still wins the round but Cologne is still safely through to the next round) I would be inclined to suggest that @CGSwans should disregard the vote made by Elephantelephant entirely - it's too late for him to change his vote, his original vote broke the rules, and even a slight difference in score percentages for Cologne now might make a big difference in later rounds, given how very close some of the percentages have been already!
In other words, I think the final score should be:
C3/PD - 0
C2/PD - 15
PD2/C - 15
PD3/C - 1

Save for the fact that Pairi and Koln have already been mathematically eliminated 
But I agree with you in principle.

Hang on.... in the OP of this thread CGSwans said that Cologne was safely-qualified?
Also:
Cologne has 2 wins so must be either 1st or 2nd with Denver

You are right, I misread. Although, presumably in the next round the percentages will be reset so if I had made a better point it would still stand.
Yes, if the percentages are reset it won't make a difference - my suggestion was grounded on the assumption they'd carry over

I thought about that, but I don’t think it’s fair - it effectively rewards zoos that have relatively easy groups to get through, and penalises others for being good enough to fight their way through tough ones. Everything needs to reset.
Fair enough then 
Oke maybe unfair but its what I saw with my own eyes but from what is written it seems to be better at the moment as what it was in the mid-2000s. Evenso I still am the opinion that Pairi Daiza has the more diverse bird-collection and more rareties and with a week spot for birds like Hummingbirds, shoebills ( world-first-breeding ! ) and rare amazones I'm not gonna change my score
!About the Golden-bellied leafbirds : I know them under the name Orange-bellied or Hardwicks leafbird and also this species was together with the Golden-fronted the most commonly avaible species of Leafbird in the 1970s / 1080s and also for this species I've taken care at the privat collection and at Walsrode.
I’ve discussed this with our Cup video review umpires @FunkyGibbon and @lintworm and we have agreed it is appropriate to disregard @Elephantelephant ’s vote.
Usually I wouldn’t do this because it doesn’t affect the results, either within the match or overall standings within the group. However, the rule breach here is so clear that we feel it’s appropriate to step in, if only as an opportunity to remind everybody of how the game works.
I also want to note that we were all very comfortable that Elephant^2 didn’t mean to break the rules, but instead simply wasn’t familiar with them. I hope they will continue to participate in the rest of the tournament.
