I've updated the Den of Records to include 2005-06 and 2006-07 Best Country finishers. However, a few notes.

1) We didn't actually award Best Countries plaques until the 2007-08 year, and they were only framed certificates that year.

2) In 2008-09, we adopted the center-based Modified Whipping scoring sytem that we had been using for our tournaments. Prior to that, we used a pure draw-based system for Weasel of the Year purposes.

3) Although we were using a draw-based system in 2007-08, the Awards Committee (me and Greg Duenow, but mostly Greg) chose to award the Best Country certificates based on center count rather than draw result.

4) In addition, we apparently favored board tops over center counts and results. The Best Russia award in 2007-08 probably should have gone to Eric Brown, who posted a 15-center two-way draw, second on the board to Matt's 17 centers. We gave the Best Country award to Christian Kline, who topped his board with 14 centers in a four-way draw. This may have been a result of confusion rather than methodology. Matt and Eric's two-way happened at the Pyle, the same day as the awards ceremony. Anyway, Kline has the certificate, so there.

5) Finally, since we were using a pure draw-based system in seasons 1 through 3, I awarded the Best Countries in 1 and 2 based on result and then center count.

Maybe. However, while your Best Russia did indeed come in the 2006-07 season, Greg has mistakenly labeled his list of Best Country winners. The list in his comment is from 2005-06, not 2006-07.

He chose not to award a Best Russia because, as you can see from the newly updated Den of Records, the best Russian performance in Season 1 was a paltry 3-center survival in a two-way draw.

Also, Greg chose to award Best Italy to Paul Pignotti's seven-center four-way. I gave the nod to Andy Lischett, who finished with fewer centers (six) but in a smaller draw (three-way).

For the record, I had the best Italian result in Season 1 with a 13-center three-way draw, but as noted in the Den, a player can only win one Best Country award per year, and I got Germany for my 11-center two-way.
