| Yeah right! These things only happen the other way around. There's a reason why Canada's average ranking is so high and USA's is so low. |

Number of NAF coaches? I mean full marks to Dennis and Kevin for cleaning up everything in house but that hardly settles the issue...
This could finally be JKL's tourney if he decides to attend Spike...  |

Errrmmm, are we forgetting someone? We all know I'm due for a Tourney win! Be it GenCon the Spike or the DeathBowl!
Hey one can dream, can't he? |

Canadians facing other Canadians doesn't affect the average rating for Canada. Only playing against other nationalities does. |

As of June 9 2004:
Canada average CR: 153.63
US average CR: 150.14
Hardly "so high" or "so low"... |

| 46 Canadain rankings and 130 US...much harder to get 130 ratings to be >150 than 46... |

| Compared with other countries, it's a pretty big difference. |

| Naw, not really... the nations ranked above 150 make up 65% of the overall rankings so far more of a grouping near the center... |

Much harder to get 46 rankings in a country with 30 million people than to get 130 in a country 10 times that size. If anything, i would expect the US rankings to reflect a more elite group than ours, since it's a smaller proportion of your coaches who actually have rankings. So this should give you an edge and make your average rankings higher, and yet they aren't. |

False premise, so error in expectations... 
Enough of this banter... we'll see over the next few tournaments.
Just plan on coming to the Spike and the Deathbowl, Zombie my friend! |

| Don't worry, i'll make sure that these trophies stay in Canada. Even if i fail, i'm sure the TBBF crew will come through for us (if they don't backstrab one another like we know they can). |

| I've seen somewhere on the web BB7 rules which didn't allow team rerolls. Your rules don't say anything about those. Are we to assume that teams can use TRR in the BB7 round? |

| Are undead, kemri, necromantic and nurgle teams allowed to raise the dead? It doesn't say they can't so i'm assuming the answer is yes. |

Poor Denis got the major shaft. I believe he's still looking for revenge on his fellow Torontonians after last years mess.
