Re: Next Champion of Champions series

Re: Next Champion of Champions series

Re: Next Champion of Champions series

Let's see what you've got, I'll confirm if it's legit or not. Once it's out there my anxiety dreams about being kicked out for accidentally leaking something I shouldn't have should go away!

Steve's post gives the impression the running order is already decided, and yet Philip heard a (probably dodgy) rumour that a S86 player is involved. Highly doubtful that both of these things are true.
