Match Report
The LGC’s Mad Minute created great excitement – 2,000+ views and almost 200 comments. The discussion was excellent. But the “turnout” was by far the lowest for any match since the current series began. It was, in fact, less than 1/3rd of our low-normal entry rate and 1/5th of our better attended matches.
The wet weather across the country almost certainly played a part. So did the time of year because of work pressure.
The Mad Minute is a helluva lot harder to do -- even to do badly -- than most people think before they try it. Some members may have attempted it and been too disappointed by the results to submit entries. Others weren’t able to assemble the right gear in time.
We’ll probably run another Mad Minute this year – in conjunction with something else – and hope the turnout is higher. Those members who did shoot it say that the experience was enjoyable and worthwhile.
To conclude, here’s a congratulatory listing of the nine intrepid members who participated in this difficult match.
