Re: King of the Rim 26 & 27 November 2010 $6500 cash prize p

Sorry to say from my experience it was all very unorganized (as a spectator) at times it was very difficult to even see the guys in action. Probably just bad luck but heard plenty of the same feedback.

I'm sure it's not an easy task to organize etc but that's my 2c GL next year guys.
