Awesome stuff mate. How much would you have won had the commission not stuck their oar in?

I'm more interested in who pocketed the cash that was supposed to have gone into the prize fund and whether the timing of the gaming commission's intervention was entirely coincidental....

something that has certainly crossed my mind, I know the MD of the company that ran it, I would ask him but he went off for a golf holiday in Portugal the morning after the final ( seriously ) mmm


re the timing, the commision clamped down on an earlier tournament but that final was not being held in a licenced gaming premise, lets say I doubt that the promotors argued too strongly
