Wow, bad hair day Ben ? :-)
Sad news, hopefully you UK guys get some more pool comps running next year. Organising and running comps is tough, I think most people don't know what's involved and how much effort it takes. It's funny how a lot of people have such a narrow view of what comps are like and think it's just for people with big ego's and who want to win sorta thing. The New Zealand comps I've been to have such a positive vibe, people are egging each other on and want to see others do well. They normally run at least 4 comps a year and it gives people some motivation and something to train for. The last comp apart from Dave's huge 244m dynamic, you had 2 other guys over 200m, and a 4th doing 189m, the level over there is getting really high and I know that having regular comps are a big part of the reason.

Have a pizza while you are in Itally mate !

Cheers,
