WUDC Manila 99 Masters Competition

Last updated November 2002 by Colm Flynn

 

The following are the details of the World Masters Championships in Manila.
England made the semi-final even though they were defeated by Scotland in the 1st round.  The tie-break to decide the fourth team was 'winning-margin' ie the team that lost their round by the narrowest number of speaker points.  (thanks to Richard Swales for this info)
