#2	Wow March 20, 2008 at 6:45pm lol kid below me, we all know what he meant, jesus christ what a bored kid reply
#1	ReAliT March 20, 2008 at 6:08pm If he entered the competition with a record of 8-9, and won 5 matches, he was a national champion with a record of 13-8, which is a winning record. Many people use this as a trivia question, to which the correct answer(no national champion had a losing record). He is however, the first to ENTER the tournament with a losing record and win a national title. Congratulations Mark! on a great career. reply
