    a bit underwhelming final if I'm honest, so I will skip voting.

    Shane, thank you very much for organising the game, good fun!

    Depends if trance is your thing I guess. 2 of the most influencial trance tracks of the 90.

    I'd echo your second comment, fantastic tournament Shane.

    Great tournament Shane, regardless of who wins (at least it won't be Faithless :pac:)
