Is this Britain?


Anyone who gets four wild cards correct must be psychic.

Flanagan (if he is still coming back to the UK), Brewer, Bamford and some junior who we have never heard of would be my guesses

Actually playing in one of these events might not be the worst idea ever, as I'm sure that if we all got together and chose an event to try for, at least 1 of us would win a match (or we'd draw each other and so be guarenteed a win that way), or we'd draw Robert Dee, and we could get the win that way...

The question still remains if we will actually get any qualifiers!

Nice to see Alan Wright in Britain!

QR1: Jordan Roberts UNR lost to Mikk Irdoja (EST) UNR by 0 & 2

Not sure if you want to update the news to include the rankings, which I've just added, but even if you don't, you should put a (WC) next to Bammy - my mistake, sorry.

are you there Steven? did you find a partner in time?

Shame that only Seator qualified in the end.

Good luck to all the Brits this week, are Goodall and Baker in the same half or can we have them both in the final? Who's the second seed? (I should probably just look it up myself but I'm feeling very lazy)
