Much more balanced comp. I can see a few UK guys having the potential to do well at it this time. Along the same lines as Chris, would Ken be excluded having done Europes? | ||

Again, I think it a bit unjust to "punish" Ken & Chris for their national qualifier success, when, by their own admission, they aren't up to "pro" standard as yet | ||
