Congrats to the winners, well done.

But how did the US managed to get three entries for this Trial?

Arethere just 14 players U26 in this country?
Or had the CoC been so hard that noone tried it?
Or had there been a tourney to get the three finalists?
Kind Regards

Heard the news from Jason. Congrats to all. Favorites or not, the other teams aren't just going to roll over for you and die.

By the way, the team consists of several players with nicknames.

For Justin, I can think of a few. Then you have you Clee and Ch00. Does Jeremy have a nickname?

It's part of Jeremy's image not to have a nickname. Kind of like Brock Lesnar.

Lucky to have such good players on the team ;)

Once upon a time I was one of ch00's mentors. This is definitely a case of the student surpassing the master.

Well done Justin et al.

I'm also surprised there were only three entries.

Does anyone know what happens about the third pair. Do they need one - if so do they just pick a pair from the team that doesn't make it.

We can pick any eligible players. We are gonna pick Jenny Wolpert and Shane Blanchard.

No, you obvisouly didn't watch the match. They cheated on almost every board :)
