I don't see what all the fuss was about.
You have'nt won a Nats.
Barely scraped a Top 3 a few years ago.
Were lucky in 96 not facing the best there was..
Placed 4th last year...
The last thing you need was to be hampered further by getting slammed on Appearance points.
There is a big difference between getting 15 and 19 AP.
To put it blunt : You need all the help you can get !!
Perhaps 17 AP and 3rd place in open isnt an un-achievable goal afterall.
Now as for 2013 you simply have given me more fodder to go all Bubba Watson on ya.
Certainly the new touches finish off the look of the model - and adding my name simply gives you more credibility
