The IGTWCC XXV Champion has been crowned with Safe Hands Koodoo Rand Diamond Geezers claiming their 3rd consecutive IGT World Club Championship, beating wantagame's Shanghai All Reds 3 - 52, at the Rookery Stadium in Hong Kong.
In what was a very one sided affair, the Geezers cruised to victory and added another Title to now make it an unequalled 6 Championships.
wantagame must have been startled to be in the Cup Final, and not the Spoon Final, and the rest as they say is history.
However both managers should be congratulated on fine seasons.
Congratulations to all the other winners, and especially Manager tryasta who has also won his 3rd consecutive Title over Plaque and Vase, and all the winners will now be able to represent the IGTWCC in the WCC Masters coming soon.

Next we have "The Laboriose Award", which is awarded to the team or teams who I think has shown commitment and effort, and hard work "Above and Beyond" throughout the IGTWCC Tournament. Laboriose is a latin word which is defined as: laboriously, with great effort.
This season we have one recipient of The Laboriose Award which goes to a manager, who has been with the IGTWCC since it's 2nd season, and has played with the spirit that I look for in a recipient of the award, whether is is competing for Cup or Spoon, and that is manager wantagame.

Shanghai All Reds - Manager: wantagame
