A good night!! As you guys can see by the scores, the aces were scoring. Tagem was on the mark as was ARkozz, both of whom had 2 TOP GUNS. Unfortunately kozz cannot make the 2nd round. That damn job just gets in the way of everything! Dinho, WhiteRhino (barely missing his 2nd TOP GUN by 1 death), and cep34 were smokin! They are going to be very difficult to knock out! Olife showed up too and made it to the second round. Rookies McKinneyJD and R3ECKON1NG_FORCE played excellent and both are in the 2nd round. Great job and a successful first round to everyone who held up their commitment and gave it their best shot. You are all number 1!!!

I guess you guys must have scared the shit out of several pilots who never showed up. With the exception of skeii and Olife who were dealing with family matters (and both of them made the 2nd round), everybody else didn't even bother to cancel (except SubaruGaz, who happily enjoyed several rounds of AvsP right in front of everybody). edal86 re-retired. Still haven't heard from them. haitch40 caved in (sorry buddy, you did), but he showed up and held up his end anyway. Better than I can say for the rest.

I busted my ass and to have guys just not show up is disappointing.

Tomorrow should be very good if everyone shows. These guys advanced fair and square, although the LA/Hurri/YAK catagory got the biggest impact by the noshows. A pity, but it is what it is.
