I thought I was looking at last week's Q draw for a moment but no, Sean & Tim have been drawn in the same qualifying section together with aother Brit again - let's just hope they don't make as much of a pig's ear of it as last week! Fortunately they've all avoided Edlefsen (who went on to lose to an unseeded player in R1 of the main draw, just to make them look even worse!) this week:
QR1: Benjamin George Levi UNR v (WC) Galin Nizortchev (CAN) UNR QR1: Max Jones WR 1547 v Robert Khoury (USA) WR 1422 QR1: David Baxendine UNR v Tuomo Ojala (FIN) UNR
QR2: (q1) Sean Thornley WR 794 v Levi or Nizortchev QR2: (q12) Timothy Bradshaw WR 1170 v (WC) Kirill Sinitsyn (CAN) UNR or Bart van Monsjou (NED) UNR QR2: Jones or Khoury v (q14) Brett Joelson (USA) WR 1297 QR2: Baxendine or Ojala v (q15) Miliaan Niesten (NED) WR 1324

Thats a better start to the weekend especially since Max gets a for beating a higher-ranked player. I wonder how many times David was match point down in that 14-12 tiebreak in the 2nd set!
QR2: (q1) Sean Thornley WR 794 v Benjamin George Levi UNR QR2: (q12) Timothy Bradshaw WR 1170 v Bart van Monsjou (NED) UNR QR2: Max Jones WR 1547 v (q14) Brett Joelson (USA) WR 1297 QR2: David Baxendine UNR v (q15) Miliaan Niesten (NED) WR 1324

Well, whatever happens in the top section FQR match this week, we've got one player through - I have it on good authority that Max won his FQR match 5-7 7-6 6-3

Better than Sean's, certainly, but maybe not as nice as it looks - Bocko has been close to the top 500 before but was injured between Mar 2007 and Jan 2009, feaching the Final of his second Future back. He hasn't shown great form in Canada though, so Max has definitely got a chance.
