Thanks Graham, I can stop biting my nails now
Staying at div #2 is a milestone for Gaviota (and it started really bad)

The latest Gaviota has done well to survive after jumping up an extra division.

Since Daydreamer is being retired from the Amateur tournaments (unless Aaron releases a new version), does this mean that Gaviota will be playing in a grading match?

Not at this stage.

Thanks Graham. I thought cheng finishes last so I am happy with place 11. Very tough group.

Division 2 was a big test for Cheng. It'll probably play a grading match against the second placed side from Division 3 and that's looming as a tough match.

damn, not promoted again

Tornado still did well though Engin.
