Is winning a Plate event that you'd rather not be playing in a success?
You can ask Paul who has won the Scottish Cup Plate playing with his brother Alex with Sam Punch and Stephen Peterkin. They beat the Maiolani team by 120-89 IMP yesterday.
Although one of the four seeds in the Scottish Cup, Paul's team lost in the first round by 19 IMP to a strong (unseeded) team who eventually lost in the final. This dropped them into the Plate where they won five matches to take the title.
