If you look back in history, you can find facts when not only winners but also losers were nominated. One such nomination is the Wooden Spoon. It is given to those who have achieved the lowest scores in their field. This could be in the academic field or sports games. The risk of becoming a Wooden Spoon winner is predominantly for residents of the United States and the British Commonwealth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are certain criteria for awarding the Wooden Spoon. According to the rules, the recipient is the team that finishes in the lowest position in the standings. The indicator is two facts: the lowest number of points scored in the Premier League and the lowest percentage in terms of points. If the two teams have the same scores on this criterion, there will be no countdown. Next, consider the history of this mock nomination and its bearers in the history of Australian soccer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wooden Spoon was first awarded to students at Cambridge University in the early 19th century. The first nominees were students of the mathematics department of that university, who scored the minimum examination points in their studies. Why the Wooden Spoon? The name of the nomination comes from the unofficial name of the soccer team that took last place in the regular AFL season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last spoon was awarded at Cambridge in 1909. After that, it began to be given out among athletes. In 1894, the South Wales Daily Post published an article suggesting that rugby teams be given a wooden spoon. The tradition then migrated smoothly to soccer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
