Matsunosuke Seminar - Judging Winners! Yes, you have read the title correctly, there was a tie. Erwin Santos and Ed Thomas both had the same number correct. To break the tie we asked Mr. Sakai what he thought would be appropriate. He suggested adding up all of the correct 1st place votes and the one with the most would be the winner. Ed had 5 and Erwin had 7. Erwin was announced as the winner.
While we were breaking down the tanks from the judging Erwin asked me if he could split the prize with Ed and then each of them would pay half of the additional costs for the trip. After consulting Mr. Sakai, he thought it was a very kind gesture, he agreed that it was the right thing to do.
Both Ed and Erwin will be going with PSKoi to the Fall Harvest and private auction of Matsunosuke.
Congratulations to Ed and Erwin. I also want to point out that Joelene came in a very close second to Erwin and Ed. Congratulations. |
