WXV Round 12: Moscow and Cairo Battle

[Justin Bieber]

By the way, Daz added up incorrectly, PNL are actually 1274/14 with Nat Jones still playing. It looked awfully small total considering we still had a few big scores to added up myself!

Don't think you two saw the above, Daz miscalculated :P. This is without Nat's score

Horrible week. GG Tokyo.

I will get my players back from injury just in time when my season is (metaphorically) over.

Don't worry purps, you had already won no matter what the scores, because of ossies new rule...

i'm conceding defeat already

Gonna start a new rule

if you say a game or season is over, its over!

Congrats purps on the win ;D

[Justin Bieber]

But is it enacted straight away though? More controversy for Worlds ;).
