thanks to both of you. i was thinking of the "2 players at max from the same country"-rule, but did not know that sasaki withdrew. any reason behind this? or just not motivated?
Not really sure why he withdrew, there are no other representatives from Tonami Club (Sasaki's club) competing here, but I don't think he had any club matches to play so can't actually give an accurate answer on this one. As for the other post in this thread, nobody needs to waste their time replying to people like that. If you can't have a fair discussion with them, then it's not worth it!
