But the weakcat suggestion is that which rends: In:ibe evout of two or more teams having the same totil number of points for the interport contest, the water polo goal average for the three games played will be the deciding factor." There is no reason why the water polo result should have any bearing as to which team of ewimaera are superior. The best way to decide in the event! of a tie in points should think, would be to award the honours to the side which has the more winners in events other than team races and water polo matches.
