Fabien had four bids and wanted to give his teammate the opportunity to bid- which i thought was an amazingly nice thing to do…

I think Vikrum meant that Fabien gave Suraj his spot as a kind gesture, implying that he cares more about the team than his NDR ranking. The reason was because of the outside chance that Suraj and I won our Quarterfinal rounds, we would both hit in Semifinals and Suraj and I would both have bid. Unfortunately, that did not happen, so the sacrifice did not serve its purpose.
More importantly: Mad Props to Lexy for running a truly amazing tournament. It had the best judging I’ve ever seen at any tournament this year, and the free food, great competition, chill atmosphere, early schedule, nice rooms (rare in CA), and more definitely made this tournaments one of the best of the year. Thanks Lexy!

Says here so on the TOC scoreboard - under alta. Im assuming there is only one Amir Varedi. I then checked your NFL points to see what grade you were in.
