Who has the best chance for an upset?

actually the truth is, 1. I offered 10k now, 10k gurnatee next year, best efforts to secure a great site and large long term committment moving forward. In the event susan wins and works with me, I am committed to make that stick and play in person next year. I vow to have 1-2 im norms (earned) by then. The ed bill hall great honest nice man was over ruled by mr conflict of interest (my view only) , no contact from mr berry to me (can not blame him) They misquoted the players and omitted if need be I would fly in for any norm games. fact is they do not want susan to have a deep pocket supporter, bad news they waived the red flag and I will be her biggest supporter. Bill must go. Eric Moskow
