In the 90's I could get top 25 by myself with effort, and top 10 with some FA. I was always just outside the top 10 without FA. I remember the first time I made top 10, both Servant and Ravi sent me an FA packet. I didn't know it was even coming. That's the kind of guys they are. They put others before themselves.

I haven't played alliance in EE.

In the 90's I couldn't figure out how to stay in game A in tourney half the time. I got demoted out of game A all the time.

I have been playing tourney in EE, and I make sloppy mistakes right and left. Barely pay attention, and don't really try. Top 10 in game A happens without effort. It's a gimme.

It was much tougher in the 90's than it is now.

I remember Dman, I would pace myself against him. I could out net him early on, but he was beating me as I was on the way out of the game. He was an unselfish player who could have dominated. He often helped others at his own detriment. It was a privilege to play with him.

I believe top 10 is more than doable in the right alliance.
