the objection was to the accepting of the Bornacoola answer in the team questions.

As for the comments that the two wins per province was a set up... this is a silly conspiracy theory that holds absolutely no basis. All competitions are judged by different judges. No judge knows the outcome until it is announced at the end of the night. Just because a judge gave a team 1st doesnt mean that they will win... there are four for each competition. The marks are handed to the coordinator after each competition so there is no way the winning teams could be divided in such a way.

the best team won the quiz in my opinion. Quizmaster was excepting surnames as answers for the team questions. Bornacoola gave a surname as their first answer to a team question. Without being asked they added an incorrect christian name. First answer is the one that counts and quizmaster accepted it.

Cornafean proved to be poor sports and openly questioned the quizmaster in the tie break. The question was There are three world heritage sites in ireland, bru na boinne and the giants causeway are two, name the third ?
A cornafean member questioned the quizmaster and insisted that the question was wrong, then they proceeded to give two answers to the question, The giants causeway and skellig michael. As Skellig michael was correct and the giants causeway was in the question the answer was accepted. this gave cornafean a 3 3 tie and the two teams progressed to the second tie break round. Bornacoola won this round 2 0 and were declared champions.
cornafean proved to be bad sports and sore loosers in my opinion. ~i was actually at the quiz, unllike many of the previous posters.
Cornafean actually missed four of their last seven questions while bornacoola got 6 from seven. for an experienced team with multiple previous wins cornafean let themselves down badly.
