I think MDP realistically should be said to be third in the competition. After the group rounds, two separate knock out competitions started, of which each had a cup/prize/shield at the end.
So either you say both won, or more realistically, MDP was third, or you say the shield was 13th place, which doesn't make sense either.
We'll amend the copy a little bit though on the rules of the knock-out competition to clarify.
By no stretch of imagination is 13th equal to 3rd. Please dont insult the teams that came 3rd and 4t
Saying the shield was the trophy for 13th place is appropriate, as is saying that both won separate knock out tournaments, the latter of which was only for the bottom 12 teams in the draw
P.S. - I'm trying to make you a better draftsman.
Who is a "F"ederal "A"gent? should you not havetyped "f"ederal "a"gent.
Also I cannot help it if your general knowledge is so poor. This comment of yours reminds me of the saying do not urge all the points. You never know if the fool can determine the wood from the trees.
Ps: Keep trying atleast that will make you improve. Additionaly remeber to start a paragraph and a sentence with a capital letter in the first word.
Thr were teams which playd wel bt cud nt win. Others sweated like anythng bt dint play as many games as these 4 teams did.
MDP was the team against wch lowest goals wer scored. Most of Matchs MDP played had a deciding result nd dint go for draw (like many teams' games did) givin free points. Evry point of MDP was earnd.
Appreciation requires courage
and winning requires skills. MDP, kanga, wadia gandy and MKA hv done their part. :)
As you said, positions actually doesn't matter.
Sameway, league table positions, partnership positions, salary tables, etc. published from time to time by LI also doesn't matter. Some Firms may be amongst the top in the league table but have openly admitted that their profitability has taken a dive. Some law schools may not be on the top of mooting and placement tables, but may have produced great scholars. Tables/rankings/positions don't matter. End of the day, it should all boil down to "have you achieved what you planned and set out to achieve"? if so, then you will always be happy, no matter where you stand compared to your peers
And who scored that goal?
MDP finished first in the Plate aka "Losers tournament". The Cup comprised the top 10 teams. The details of standings are available with Bombay Gym
