They made such competitions a reason for them (officials) to go out out the country as part of their perks.

When the best players are excluded from participating in major competitions, it may give the other players more exposure but it is not the best strategy.eastcoastlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578276762751929226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974788359830139248.post-19746875792818626972007-09-07T10:10:00.000+08:002007-09-07T10:10:00.000+08:00Oo nga, bket di ka sumali sa mga tournaments para ...Oo nga, bket di ka sumali sa mga tournaments para u will represent our country sa mga international events like the SEA Games.
