Thanks to all the participants. Great thank to Terry Seehagen for helping me to organize WBX 2010. without him I could not run the event successfully, Terry was especially helping with setting the boards and calling to find substitute players for some of the teams. also I would like to thank the Calgarian! Vlad Rekhson for his helping, thanks to Roy Yearwood, Wade Coughlin and Robert Bezjack for coming to edmonton, Aaron Sequillion for filling up the team 10 in last minute, Vitaly Motuz for being a backup if needed. Hopefully see all again in WBX 2011. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011
