Looks like another great weekend coming up. Check That will definately get into the teams event!

I still think to make the 1st and 2nd round mean something the 3rd round should be the same structure but have the 4 teams shoot out on each table to heads up and make a final table of 8. The 1-32 points make the great effort achieved by the teams through out the day meaningless.

Just my 2c worth. 8-)
