The Dutch gave Orange Bowl finalist Lupescu a WC into Rotterdam, What are the chances we give George a WC in one of our tournaments even though he went a stage further??
They did but didn't get one. They will try for on-site entry.
They just missed out. The last on site acceptance went to a combined rank of 58 where as Andy and Jamie have a combined rank of 59. Both WCs went to dutch pairings which is fair enough as far as I am concerned.
