[Report & Results] Turin (Italy) 10/10/04

Hi all,

another time I had the difficult quest of writing about our weekly tourney.

I didn't play this time, to let my opponents have more opportunities of Top8ing... Wink

As predicted by me in my last lines, the extremely good results of the UBR-Version of Atog were confirmed by these new ones.

But, let me explain all the things that happened at this tourney in the right order.
