Thanks Tonx, gave it everything l had yesterday but payed for it dearly later. Iced like crazy till near on midnight and woke up reasonable but the damage was done as far as consistency was concerned l had none. Even if l had fluked it to the next stage l think it would have got very embarrassing. Not unhappy at all with the result for the weekend and l now get to rest up for the next tourny. Still using the 12 for spares and warming up, very comfortable. How's the first round of VSS looking? Any 13's floating around yet? Take it easy, Paul.
