BobBev Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Love to PM but I don't think that I'll be around that weekend. If things change and you need a last-minute sub then I could give it a go.

I guess what people should do is list their top five choices now before we know the qualifiers, and then we'll use the order of awards to select.(FMS 'fame' will decide order if awards level tied) If none of your five choices qualify, are already taken you get a team at random. If you dont respond by the time I decide to allocate teams you get given one, probably a really crappy one.
