Glad to hear it - got to be easier places to get a point though.
It didn't look as if Katarzyna and Alicia had very tough assignments at all against their unranked Belgian WC opponents in QR1.
If you were purely looking to get a point, QR1 of a 50K is probably invariably a good chance against unranked locals such as in our own 50Ks. Indeed relatively speaking the upgrade to 3 points for a QR2 win here seems to have been not that tough, at least for rather more experienced players.

Some confusion - this is 10k event. Also, a number of ranked payers have signed in at the last minute. Compared to a normal 10k at Sharm etc. this is a tough qualifying field - and you need to get to main draw R2 to get 1 pt. Helen Parish had to beat a girl JCH 40 in her first match in a 10k in Finland today.
Sadly the brits have no home tournaments to play in. Also interesting to see how Belgium and Finland are using the wildcards to help their own players. Belgium is now ahead in the number of 10ks this year. Must be part of the "tough love" policy.
