Myles Blake comeback didn't last long - he has pulled out!

He's in the top 60 Alts for qualifying now, I think, and unlikely to get in, but I imagine there are a fair few w/ds to come yet. I can't believe we're going to end up with a Futures qualifying competition where all players are ranked - usually it's touch and go whether all the qualifying seeds are ranked!

That list is shortening very fast isn't it. Who are you then? When I looked after you said you were 97th Alt, the 97th Alt was Joey Brew, but maybe the list had already moved on by that stage and you're actually someone else (?)

It must be good that so many of the people above you don't have this event down as their priority 1. Even 10 of the 18 on the main draw list at the moment don't have Tipton as P1, though I imagine some of them will stay on the list if they haven't got into their preferred events.

Edit: that's odd, when I looked at the list before writing this post, Joey Brew was 36th Alt, but I just refreshed again now to see if anything changed (I didn't expect it to because I thought it only updated twice a day) and now he's 40th Alt.

lol. I hope you get in. Keep us updated

so he has a good chance of making it?

It seems to have been updated again (maybe the twice a day update policy which was stated a year or two ago no longer applies) and with 97 w/ds now, wolf is up to 14th alt with 15 non-P1s above him, though 5 of them figure among the top 8 DAs for the main draw, so may well stick with Tipton anyway. Fleming & Skupski have joined Marray & Evo as main draw DAs.
