Thanks Drew. Nice to see the LTA giving WCs to the people we think should get them these days - it seems to be paying off too if last week is anything to go by!

I usually use the previous week's ranking for qualifying results, but since this started on Monday, it was easier to use steveg to partially construct the qualifying draw with the new rankings, hence new rankings they are.
Btw I had to go away and leave that posting for 20 minutes before it actually did post, just as I came back - anyone else getting problems that bad with activeboard tonight?
