MF/WF - Long Beach
Good luck to all the Brits heading over to the Grand Prix in Long Beach starting on Friday.
I believe JD is fencing, so I'll be following and hope he's recovered fully from injury.
I was hoping that business would take me to the West Coast so I could hop down and take a look. Unfortunately not. I am currently buried in about a foot of snow here on the East Coast.

The poules are up:

Savvy!
Looks like;
Tof - 5/6 wins with good indicator. Should get a bye through to the L64 tomorrow.
Peggs - 3/6 wins. Into the prelim DE.
MM - waiting on pool results to be posted.
JD - 2/6 wins. Maybe a bit rusty. Waiting on the last pool results to see if he's in the Prelim 64. I think he'll make it.
Glen O - 1 win Probably eliminated.

JD does make it through.
Also, MM through with 4 wins.
JohnL
JD and MM both through to the L64 tomorrow.
Peggy's misses out by one hit.
Peggs. Damn autocorrect.Originally Posted by hokers
James gets Safin (Safin's the #1 seed so I don't think he'll be overly happy with that!)
Marcus gets Choupenitch
Richard gets Lee of Korea
JohnL
Glad to see Baldini is back.
James ruining a few people's days from a very low seeding - hopefully will continue tomorrow!
Feel quite sorry for the prelim 64 opponent who should have had a relatively easy fight for the L64 and a decent seeding if he got through...
Last Competition: Bristol L8
Next Competition: Dunno
JD loses to Safin 15-14 (Tough fight)

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Richard beats Rigin, through to L16. Has Lefort.
Tof lost 15-12 to Lepechoux

Good luck to Richard in the next round.

Richard beats Leforte in first period to make L8
Great effort by Richard once again.
Good hunting in the next fight.
Richard beats Leforte in first period to make L8
Unfortunately in the L8 Gorozzo came out strong and got stronger.
Another world class result for Richard.
In the first WF semi at 14-11 the piste lights have gone out. 1/2 a hour later and they still haven't fixed the problem!!!

Congratulations to Richard on his 5th place. Another great result.
