After all my time with you Firestone, I assume this is said with swagger and nonchalance like "I almost lost a finger, but I only need 3 out of the 9 to beat you"
Hope you recover well and stay safe!

« on: May 13, 2013, 08:40:50 pm »

Just wanted to throw up a fix to the fix.
Due to some of the confusion between the first match set up and the  fixed one a compromise has been made.
First matches will not be any different as there is only a swap in sides.
