Now that I have many of the actual game sheets from the WWG, I've recorded a few new scores on the WWG Results Page of the CWSA web site.  I can't complete the leading scorers table, as I don't have all of the game sheets, although I've contacted a few people who might be able to send me the ones that I am missing.  In case any other reader can help out in this area, the actual game sheets I'm missing include game # 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 24, and 26.  I have all the others.  You can send them to me at dlane@cwsa.ca or by regular mail.

For those of you wondering about classification, there were no changes to the Canadians who attended, and some may have received PPS, having been seen by three international panels.  The Brits had the most changes to their roster, as one of their 2.5's, Mark Fosbrook, was classed out of the sport.  This means that the Brits effectively had at least 9.5 points on the floor when they beat Canada Ice by a 1-point margin early on the first day.  They had a few other changes to their lineup, as Stuart Russell went from 0.5 to 1.0, Chris Ellis went from 3.5 to 3.0, and Michael Hipwell went from 1.5 to 1.0 (although he was originally listed as a 1.0... guess they were confident on that one).  The Brits will likely protest Fosbrook's classification, but they must be getting good at that, as they're having lots of experience in this process of late.  The only other "change" was for Portland's Lynn Nelson, who was confirmed as a 3.0, and not a 3.5, but there is no big surprise there.  On the classifier's side, our own Jennifer Stodler, from Saskatoon, SK, achieved her International Level III classifier status.  Congrats Jenn!

We'll be seeing some Brits again soon, as the Best of the West tournament in San Diego is quickly approaching, as it is scheduled for this upcoming weekend, Nov. 14-16.  The Midland Bandits, who I believe took the silver medal at the Great Britain National Games last month, will add a touch of international colour to the tournament.  Meanwhile, Canadians will be sprinkled around a few of the competing teams, led by #1 seed California Quake (Garett Hickling), #2 seed San Diego Bushwhackers, #6 Casco Bay Navigators (Mike Whitehead), and #7 seed London Annihilators (David Willsie and the regular London cast of characters).  The roster of the Bandits, once known, can be compared against these rosters, to see if they are even close to the roster from the GB National Games.
