That's 40% of games due to be played yesterday were not played. Should it have even proceeded?

I'm using the skipper stats I have been collating for the seasons since 2006 + 1997 and 1999 and have arfrived at Win,Loss, draw record for the skippers playing today. The record is only for the skippers and not the rink. Hopefully during the season I will be able to bring you records such as club head to head, player head to head, record scores and winning margins and more.
So going forward, the format is Skippers name (W,L,D)

13th October 24 - We have a winner. and a runaway winner. Out of 38 sections Garry Booker correctly tipped 26 of them, 2 clear of the next person. Amazing tipping, well done to Garry. Unfortunately no prize but this season I will track the tips for all the state events and we can see who's had the best tipping year. For those interested Garry didn't even select a winner, such was his confidence of requiring it! Next event will be the Womens State Pairs.
3rd October 24 - It's not too late to enter the fours, at this stage we see the Daniel Trewhella and Kristina Krstic rinks start as favourites. Interestingly Krstic and Lisa Featherby who is the only other team tipped to win play each other in the section. Seems like winner of that game wins the title! Of course they won't be thinking that as plenty of good teams in the event, but interesting it has been tipped that way.
27th September 24 - ...and with every state event, we have a tipping comp! Same rules as always, no prizes this year unless a business is interested in a donation. The winner will be the person who tips the most correct skippers as listed by game start time. If there is a tie it will be separated by who you think will win the fours, both male and female and the highest of those tips will win. Should there still be a tie then a hat draw will take place.
In the interest of accuracy, if you know of changes to the teams listed, please advise updates so I can let people know. Especially those TBA!!!

All teams in the mens and ladies finals from last year are out, Kristina Krstic going down to Noelene Abe and Shane Giudice-Nairn losing on an extra end to Ryan Brown. We are guaranteed a Ryan in the final as Brown plays Moyle, With Wayne Neilson playing Paul Davies in the other. For the ladies, Abe will play Irene Arndt with Liz Matthews playing Karen Miller. With the venue unknown at this stage, it promises to be an exciting day on the 27th October.
6th October 24 - Ok feeling refreshed and ready to go. Good day of state fours yesterday and we are down to the knockout stages today at Kardinya. The section 10 battle between Kristina Krstic and Lisa Featherby didn't eventuate as the Featherby rink forfeited that match, gifting Krstic the rink. The remaining sections seemed to go as planned so the Ladies draw is in for some good games today.
In the mens, again it appears the favoured teams have mostly progressed. Section 6 produced a 0% win with Dwayne Hayden winning all 3 games to get through the section. The battle between Daniel Trewhella and Clive Adams was tight and it was Trewhella that triumphed by 3 shots. Section was decided by 1 shot, Darren Rowland and Kristian Carr both with 2 wins and a % of 133 but Rowland with +12 over Carr's +11 saw them progress. Last years year Shane Giudice-Nairn dropped a game but progress, as does last years runners up Matthew Mitchell. Another fine day weather wise for those wanting to watch some good fours bowls today at Kardinya.
