This has been some very interesting reading. I just wish I could play in this event, I'll have to figure out how to make that happen!
As to the controversy, I know how I'd feel about it, whether I was the opponent or a teammate. Actually, make that team member. I wouldn't want to be mates with anyone who could do that.
Congrats to everyone who did well, and to the guys running the show! Sounds like a damn good event to me!
