Great field. I hope the Chinese can get in somehow. It’s as if they boycotted? Or couldn’t get visas?

There will be five qualifiers in China. Maybe their strategy is to reduce costs that way.

It would be nice to add the missing Filipinos as well.

I would take anyone in the top 10 Fargo Rate against the field.

I suppose the way to form that bet is as the top X or the top X playing. (Lee Vann Corteza might not play.)

I think 10 is too strong. Would you be willing to drop a Ko?
