The previous year's winner is supposed to engrave it with the name of the next winner and send it to them. Firstly we need to establish whether Perpetual did this and sent it to Maxbet in 2017. Assuming he did Maxbet should have engraved it with Maruco's name and sent it to Maruco this time last year who would then have been able to do the same for viking this year. Until Maruco's post a few days ago I didn't realise the whole process had broken down. It's especially galling given that Tout Seul generously donated the trophy in memory of the late long time forum member Alan Morgan.
