That’s My Policy! A UK Top 32 Report

Hello everyone, my name is Richard Fairbrother, otherwise known as NidoRich. I started playing Pokémon competitively in 2012 and that year I finished 5th at the UK Nationals (one win away from a Worlds qualification). At the 2013 UK Nationals, I finished 18th overall, and was outside of the Top Cut due to Opponent’s Opponent Win Percentage. I also was the Manchester #5 winner, and if the Pokémon community gave out superlatives, I would be voted “Most Likely to Walk into Walls.” Let’s get started with my report for this year’s 2014 UK Nationals.

Building the Team

I first started building this team with a Lapras, Mega Manectric, and Talonflame core which soon began to take shape with a Garchomp, Aerodactyl, and Ferrothorn added to the team. After a bit of testing on Battle Spot, I found that I wasn’t winning enough matches, so I began to build from scratch again, going with a core of Lapras, Garchomp, and Ferrothorn.

The team needed a bit more speed and some Fake Out support so I added a Mega which, of course, every team needs these days. Enter Kangaskhan. The addition of Mega Kangaskhan provided me with the option of either having Fake Out support or just using its all-out Attack power which can hit most of the metagame for quite a bit of damage. The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that I often speed-tied with other Kangaskhans, which is like rolling a dice and hoping for evens. Aerodactyl was added as a supporter with Tailwind, Taunt and Sky Drop in its arsenal, allowing it to do a fantastic job. I noticed my team really lacked any sort of special attacking presence except from Lapras. Adding Gardevoir to the team helped me gain a big attacking threat against opposing teams, especially with Choice Specs on it, allowing it to get a OHKO on Mega Venusaur and Amoonguss.

As a whole, the team had some good synergy and some fantastic potential to do well in Bochum so I decided to take it to the event. In the end, I finished Germany Nationals at a stale 5-3 with my first loss coming from an Effect Spore Amoonguss and my last loss coming from a critical hit on my Kangashan, which gave my opponent the win. My other loss was against Szymon in a close thoughtful match, which revolved around him being able to finally set up a Dragon Dance on his Mega Tyranitar. As soon as I got home from my trip to Germany, I knew that I would need to find improvements to the team if I wanted to top cut in Manchester so half the team was binned. I dropped my Aerodactyl, Garchomp and Ferrothorn.

The first thing I noticed was that Garchomp just did not perform well on the team at all and Ferrothorn was not a good choice for a Lapras team because almost every single team has a Fire attack. Aerodactyl did not fit in with my playstyle either, so I built my new team around Lapras, Kangaskhan and Gardevoir.

I noticed that my Gardevoir and Lapras could not really handle other Kangaskhan 1-on-1 and that when facing another Kangaskhan they would have another lead that could probably handle my own Kangaskhan, such as Gengar or any other Ghost-type Pokémon. This is where Amoonguss proved very valuable with its ability to Rage Powder and provide Spore annoyance.

I can’t stress enough that every team needs a Fire-Type to handle Aegislash and other assorted Grass and Steel types. Rotom-H is popular right now for a reason, as  it can deal huge damage to these types and even provides Will-O-Wisp support when necessary. Rotom-H was my counter to Aegislash and Mawile, which my team would struggle against otherwise.

My last slot was really up in the air and the thing that popped to mind first was some Intimidate support. Manectric was out and Mawile didn’t fit with my theme, so I added Salamence to the team as it could provide some swift attacks straight from the start.

The Team

Name: Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 76 HP / 132 Atk / 44 Def / 4Sp Def / 252 Spe
Ability: Scrappy > Parental Bond
– Fake Out
– Return
– Power-Up Punch
– Crunch

Kangaskhan is one of the most popular Mega Pokémon and is a staple on the majority of teams for this format. Fake Out support is invaluable to my slower team members. I chose Crunch over Sucker Punch simply because I needed the ability to hit switch-ins and Aegislash without wasting a turn going for a move that could not even work, and the possibility to get a Defense drop was an added perk. Power-Up Punch and Return are obvious picks and quite staple moves for Kangaskhan, as a Jolly Kangaskhan needs the little extra power that a +2 increase provides and even at only 132 Attack investment, a +2 Return gets the OHKO on Rotom formes and the majority of Pokémon that take neutral damage from Return.

The EV spread allows it to take a lot of hits and possibly win most one-on-ones against other Kangaskhans if you play correctly. I much prefer a Jolly Kangaskhan to an Adamant one these days as the more speed you have then the better chance you have of getting your moves off and the more likely you are to hit your Fake Out in the face of another Kangaskhan. I found that I usually lead with my Kangaskhan in most matches as it can be led with pretty much everything in my team and can achieve its job as intended.

Name: Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest
EVs: 20 HP / 236 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Ability: Intimidate
– Draco Meteor
– Flamethrower
– Stone Edge
– Sleep Talk

Salamence was probably the weak link in my team as I only used it in one match during Swiss and then once during Top Cut. It’s job on the team was to provide Intimidate support as well as a basic fast-mode support against auto-pilot teams with Greninja, Talonflame and other Pokémon that hit hard and fast without much of a thought process. Draco Meteor is a must-pick move for Salamence when it is Choice-locked. Flamethrower was something I decided the day before the event (even though I have two other Fire-type moves on the team) because I wanted a 100% super-effective move for Ferrothorn and Mawile. Choosing Stone Edge over Rock Slide and Rock Tomb was the right pick in my opinion as it can get the OHKO on Charizard-Y and Talonflame and provide good coverage for Salamence. Sleep Talk is the dark horse move on Salamence and was my backup plan against Amoonguss and Smeargle and could possibly get a surprise KO.

The EVs don’t stray too far from the ordinary Choice Scarf Salamence. The slight drop in Special Attack does miss any important KOs or 2HKOs. The extra EVs in HP, however, can make some difference in certain situations. Salamence was definitely the worst member on the team and was never really needed in any of my matches. Looking back, I could have replaced Salamence with a Smeargle and fake a Khan-Artist lead.

Name: Gardevoir @ Choice Specs
Nature: Modest
EVs: 196 HP / 52 Def / 120 SpAtk / 60 SpDef / 80 Spd
Ability: Trace
-Moonblast
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power Fire

This Gardevoir was definitely the surprise package on my team. It did work when needed and picked up surprise OHKOs and other KOs in unlikely situations. People really don’t give enough credit to Choice Specs Gardevoir as it is so strong with the right kind of support. Psychic OHKOes Mega Venusaur unless they run a high amount of EVs in HP and Special Defense, but then again, Gardevoir can still outspeed it and gets the 2HKO if needed. Moonblast and Psychic have fantastic synergy and can hit most of the meta for super-effective or neutral damage, apart from mainly Aegislash, which is the very reason why I have Shadow Ball on Gardevoir’s moveset. Shadow Ball does just over 50% to the average Aegislash set. Hidden Power Fire gets the OHKO on Scizor and Ferrothorn which would otherwise wall Gardevoir.

The EV spread is something I really like as I only updated it about 2 or 3 days before the UK Nationals. It can take a max Special Attack Flash Cannon or Shadow Ball from Aegislash 95% of the time. I chose 80 Speed EVs so I could outspeed most Mega Venusaur but it was just my luck that I didn’t face a single one during Nationals. The added Speed also allows Gardevoir to outspeed the majority of bulky Rotoms without Speed EV investment.

Name: Amoonguss @ Rocky Helmet
Nature: Bold
Ability: Effect Spore
EVs: 244 HP / 188 Def / 4 SpAtk / 68 SpDef / 4 Spd
-Giga Drain
-Rage Powder
-Spore
-Protect

Amoonguss performed so well in this team at the UK Nationals and acts as a good wall in this format. I was convinced by my brother (Combustandy) not to use a Lum Berry the day before so I went into UK Nationals with my Hard-Headed Amoonguss and it actually turned out to be the right choice in the end as I only faced one Smeargle throughout the day. The moveset is totally boring and stale but is pretty solid at any rate as Amoonguss isn’t there for attacking presence; it is there to put things to sleep, redirect attacks, and be an annoying heap of bulk to take out.

I went with 244 HP and 188 Defense EVs to be able to take Physical hits and annoy Kangaskhan to the ends of the earth with Rocky Helmet recoil and the chance of Effect Spore activating. The 68 Special Defense EVs were what I had left over and the 4 EVs in Speed and Special Attack would be wasted elsewhere. Overall, Amoonguss was very useful in Nationals as it provided me with great support during Swiss and during my Top 32 match.

Name: Rotom-H @ Safety Goggles
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 180 SpAtk / 12 SpDef / 60 Spd
Ability: Levitate
-Overheat
-Thunderbolt
-Will-O-Wisp
-Protect

Every team this year needs a strong Fire-type attacker with all the Aegislash and Mawile running around in the format; for my team, it was Rotom-H who filled that role. The attacks are staple on Rotom-H these days. Rotom-H is a great partner for both Amoonguss and Kangaskhan as it has great defensive synergy with the former and can deal heavy damage to Aegislash for the latter, which is something the usual Kangskhan has trouble with.

The EVs seem familiar, right? I honestly came up with the spread myself and then looked on NuggetBridge to compare it with other peoples’ spreads and noticed it matched JRank’s EV spread. The 60 Speed EVs allowed Rotom to outspeed Tyranitar and the 180 Special Attack EVs could KO Mawile  and decimate Aegislash’s HP to prevent it from setting up a Substitute. If I had used a Sitrus Berry Rotom, then I would change my spread to a more bulkier version I had been using earlier in the season to help it take Rotom-Wash Hydro Pumps and handle a couple Rock Slides from Garchomp and Aerodactyl. All in all, Rotom performed as it should by burning the opponent’s Pokémon and countering opposing Mawile, which my team really struggled against otherwise.

Name: Lapras @ Weakness Policy
Nature: Calm
EVs: 228 HP / 124 Def / 116 SpAtk / 36 SpDef / 4 Spd
Ability: Water Absorb
-Hydro Pump
-Freeze-Dry
-Ice Shard
-Protect

Fear the Lapras! Lapras is really undervalued this season and is a fantastic Ice-type for this format. A couple of weeks prior to German Nationals, I wanted to prove that Lapras has more potential then what people give it credit for. After doing a bit of research, I found that the most common item people use on Lapras is Assault Vest, which I almost instantly move away from. Lapras already has fantastic Special bulk paired with a great base HP. Lapras has four weaknesses: Fighting, Rock, Electric, and Grass. The first three are common weaknesses on many teams, which means that most players will be using a move of this type somewhere on their team, which then increases the chance that Lapras’s Weakness Policy will activate.

What some people don’t understand right away is that with the right EV spread, Lapras can survive almost any attack that isn’t boosted, including Thunderbolt from Choice Specs Rotom, Thunder from Mega Manectric, and even a Hammer Arm from Mega Kangaskhan. All of these calculations led me straight to the Weakness Policy item, and let’s face it: who wants to face a +2 Lapras in this format? In my own opinion, Lapras is a great answer to the current meta that has Dragon types in most teams (with two of the most popular Dragons having a 4x weakness to Ice). Rotom-H and Rotom-W can hit Lapras with a Thunderbolt but are then struck back with a Hydro Pump and Freeze-Dry respectively at +2.

As a whole, Lapras doesn’t need too much Special Defense investment so only 36 used to ensure that Lapras could take a hit, get the +2 from Weakness Policy, and then strike back, with Amoonguss providing Rage Powder support. The 228 HP and 124 Defense EVs allow it to take a couple Rock Slides and still be able to score a knock out versus Garchomp, even if Lapras is flinched one or two times. The Specials Attack EVs are at a decent level so Lapras can deal a good enough damage output when the Weakness Policy is not active. Without the boost, it can still get 2HKOs on bulky Rotom-W, Tyranitar, and other Pokémon it can hit for neutral damage. The final 4 EVs were placed into Speed so Lapras t could outspeed other base 60s that don’t have any EVs in Speed. The nature for a Weakness Policy Lapras should always be Calm, because there is no need to give it a 10% increase in Special Attack that doesn’t make a difference in KOs or 2HKOs when you can instead give Lapras some extra bulk with the Calm nature, which means Lapras can stay on the battlefield for a longer time.

The Tournament

It took a couple hours for the swiss flights and first round opponents to be determined. I was in flight 1 while my brother was in flight 2, which was my first priority. Before we start, I do want to apologize for any lapses in my memory throughout my report.

Round 1 vs Jack Hemmingway

Garchomp (Back) | Meowstic | Rotom-H (Lead) | Gothitelle | Vaporeon (Back) | Mawile (Lead)

Looking at the team, I instantly see Meowstic and hope he doesn’t use it purely for Swagger and Thunder Wave. He leads with Rotom-H and Mawile while I lead Kangaskhan and Amoonguss. Turn 1: he Protects Mawile and Overheats my Amoonguss while I Fake Out Rotom-H and Spore the Protecting Mawile. Turn 2: I remember that I switched out my Amoonguss for Rotom-H, which took a critical hit Overheat from the opposing Rotom-H. During the battle, I miss three Will-o-Wisps on Mawile, but Lapras came in to save the day. Lapras knocks out Rotom-H and predicts a Garchomp switch-in for another OHKO. By the end, it was his burnt Mawile and Vaporeon versus my Lapras and Rotom-H. Luckily, he goes for the Hydro Pump on Lapras and I get the clean KO on Mawile followed by a Freeze-Dry on Vaporeon for the win.

WIN 2-0 (1-0 in Swiss)

Round 2 vs Jonathon Kelly

Tyranitar | Venusaur | Gardevoir (Lead) | Hydreigon (Back) | Mawile (Lead) | Rotom-H (Back)

When looking at Jonathon’s team, Venusaur immediately stood out the most to me. Gardevoir was on my team specifically to counter Venusaur but I suspect that if he does bring it then it will be in the back, so I know leading with my Gardevoir is not the best choice to pick. He leads with a Scarf Gardevoir and a Mawile while I lead Kangaskhan and Rotom-H. Predicting the Mawile to switch or Protect, I go for the Will-O-Wisp on the Mawile and Fake Out on Gardevoir; Mawile does Protect and I get a slight advantage. I can’t remember too much other than that but he did have Hydreigon and Rotom-H in the back but Gardevoir does well against them. Once Mawile is gone, I use Gardevoir to secure the win.

WIN 2-0 (2-0 in Swiss)

Round 3 vs Matthew Carter [Mattsby]

Rotom-H (Back) | Gengar (Lead) | Garchomp | Gardevoir | Kangaskhan (Lead) | Bisharp (Back)

I first notice the Gengar and Kangaskhan duo (which gained a lot of popularity recently thanks to Yoshi), so I predict he will lead with that. He does indeed lead with them, so I lead with Kangaskhan and Lapras. This battle is all about the first turn; I go for the Fake Out on Gengar which Protects, while his Kangaskhan goes for the Return on my Kangaskhan, nearly getting the KO, and Lapras switches out for Amoonguss. Turn 2: he goes for the Return and Taunt while I Crunch and Rage Powder, I take a 4-3 lead. He brings in Bisharp and I’m hoping to win the Speed tie with his Kangaskha… but I lose it. From there, it was an uphill battle. During the late game, I could have swung it my way if I went for a second Protect on Lapras (thus allowing it to live a Return and not take a Sucker Punch), while my Choice Specs Gardevoir with Parental Bond gets a KO on his team. He ended up going 3-4 and dropping before the last game, which comes into play later.

LOSE 0-2 (2-1 in Swiss)

Round 4 vs Zoe Adams

Bannette | Tyranitar (Back) | Gardevoir (Lead) | Scrafty (Lead) | Rotom-W | Mawile (Back)

I recognize Zoe’s name and think, “OK, I’m in a tough match now and really cannot afford to lose.” She comes to the table with some McDonalds which forces me to think about how I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast (tricky ploy #37). She leads with Gardevoir and Scrafty while I lead Kangaskhan and Gardevoir. On the first turn, I switch Kangaskhan for Amoonguss and go for the Moonblast on Gardevoir, while she Protects Gardevoir and hits a Fake Out on Amoonguss, getting some recoil damage from its Rocky Helmet. I then hit a Moonblast on Gardevoir followed by one on Scrafty the next turn due to Ally Switch getting a KO. It was here that I find out the Gardevoir is holding Safety Goggles as Spore fails on Gardevoir to my surprise. The rest of the match went smoothly; Mawile was affected by Effect Spore and the Tyranitar was quickly destroyed by Kangaskhan and Gardevoir.

WIN 3-0 (3-1 in Swiss)

Round 5 vs Mike Ball

Garchomp (Back) | Smeargle (Lead) | Venusaur | Rotom (Back) | Scizor | Blastoise (Lead)

Looking at Team Preview, I see this guy has Smeargle and instantly sigh to myself because I will finally need to bring Salamence to a match. He leads with Blastoise and Smeargle while I lead Salamence and Kangaskhan, instantly going for a double target into his King’s Shield while his Blastoise Protects as well. Turn 2: he goes for a Follow Me and Water Spout while I Power-Up Punch and Draco the Smeargle to KO. The next turn, I Draco the Blastoise and get a critical hit which sends it to ¼ HP while I switch my Kangaskhan out for Amoonguss and Salamence gets knocked out by the incoming Garchomp. I finish up by sending in my Kangaskhan to knock out Garchomp and Lapras cleans up the rest of the field to seal another win for me.

WIN 2-0 (4-1)

Round 6 vs Rafiq Sadli

Kangaskhan (Lead) | Rotom-W (Lead) | Scizor (Back) | Salamence | Amoonguss | Chandelure (Back)

I remember seeing the name Raf from the IC tournament the prior week and instantly take my Lapras out of the running. I lead with Rotom-H and Kangaskhan to his Kangaskhan and Rotom-W. I Fake Out his Rotom and switch my Rotom for Amoonguss to take a Fake Out which works perfectly. On the next turn, I Power-Up Punch and Rage Powder as his Kangaskhan gets paralyzed from Effect Spore and my Amoonguss also takes a Will-O-Wisp from Rotom. I predict his Rotom to switch out for Chandelure, so I go for a +2 Crunch on Rotom’s slot, which is the play he goes for. From there, it is smooth sailing for me, although his Scizor does give me some trouble but goes down from a Hidden Power Fire from Gardevoir.

WIN 2-0 (5-1)

Round 7 vs Erik Anderson

Aegislash | Rotom-W (Lead) | Mawile (Back) | Talonflame (Back) | Garchomp | Sableye (Lead)

The first thing I see on the team is the Sableye and I smile because I know Sableye so well and know its calcs by heart. He leads Sableye and Rotom to my Kangakshan and Salamence. I Fake Out Rotom and go for Draco Meteor on Sableye as he proceeds to Will-O-Wisp my Kangaskhan. He then tells me that I am the first to not Fake Out his Sableye which does surprise me a little. I Power-Up Punch and Draco his Rotom while he goes for a Thunderbolt and Recover. I remember I knock out his Rotom with Return and later knock out his Sableye with Crunch and Hydro Pump and from there it was just a case of not making any silly plays as my Rotom-H and Lapras took out his Mawile and Talonflame cleanly.

WIN 4-0 (6-1)

Round 8 vs Alejandro [Pokebasket]

Garchomp | Talonflame (Back) | Gengar (Lead) | Ludicolo (Back) | Salamence | Kangaskhan (Lead)

This was the best game in the tournament that I played in all honesty and maybe the closest game in the whole event. I saw his team and thought, “I can win this if I can knock out his Talonflame and preserve my Amoonguss for late game.” He leads with Gengar and Kangaskhan so the first thing I think of is my earlier match which I lost versus Mattsby with the same two leads. I get the Fake Out on his Kangaskhan while he burns me and I switch in my Amoonguss freely. The next turn I Power-Up Punch and Rage Powder to take a Return or Power-Up Punch. He switches Gengar out at some point and I get a Return critical hit on Talonflame (which didn’t really matter). He then Returns my own Kangaskhan to get the knockout. In the late game, it is my Lapras and Amoonguss versus his full HP Gengar and full HP Ludicolo with my Amoonguss nearly KOd. He goes for the Giga Drain on Lapras which gets a critical hit, leaving Lapras with about 1/3 HP left, activating my Weakness Policy on the big screen for people to see! Unfortunately for my opponent, he Protects his Gengar while I Freeze-Dry Ludicolo for the OHKO and Spore into Gengar’s Protect. Now, it’s my low-HP Amoonguss and Lapras versus a Sash Gengar. I go for a Freeze-Dry and Rage Powder to make sure I hit, as he knocks out my Amoonguss and now I have to risk the damage roll of a +2 Ice Shard since Lapras’s  HP was in the high red zone. ALL OR NOTHING! Ice Shard got the KO on the Gengar, which meant I made it to the Top Cut finally in a National. Unfortunately, he barely missed out on Top Cutting which was a shame as Alejandro was a really, really nice guy. I was left with feelings of shock, disbelief and a whole lot of Lapras.

WIN 1-0 (7-1)

Because Flight 2 had finished before Flight 1 did there was a wait for the final rankings. I was nervous even though I knew I was in because I wanted to see it on paper that I had made it. There was a huge scuffle at the sheets as the ranks went up and joy, sorrow, and laughter could be seen and heard all through the crowd. Some of my friends were ahead of me and I told them not to tell me my ranking as I wanted to see for myself. I managed to make it to the front and saw I finished 6th in Flight 1. I was truly elated, shedding a few tears and laughs with everyone. Lapras had made it and I had made it. After celebrating with people (mainly Kyriakou who was so happy for me as we were jumping around everywhere) we decided to head back to the hotel, eat, and sleep.

Top Cut

Top 32 vs Josh S

Talonflame | Salamence | Garchomp | Kangaskhan | Aegislash | Rotom-W

Match 1

Talonflame (Lead) | Kangaskhan (Lead) | Aegislash (Back) | Rotom-W (Back)

When looking at his team, I instantly told myself he won’t pick a Dragon so I had to plan for the other four remaining. He leads with Kangaskhan and Talonflame to my Kangaskhan and Amoonguss. I start with a Fake Out on Talonflame and Spore on his Kangaskhan. He hits my Kangaskhan with Fake Out so turn 1 works perfectly. On the next turn, I switch my Amoonguss for Rotom-H and Return his Talonflame for the knockout. Later on, it is my Lapras and Amoonguss versus his Rotom-W and Aeigslash. I double up on his Aegislash’s Substitute with a +2 Hydro Pump and a Spore to take it out of the game before Rage Powdering and hitting a Freeze-Dry on Rotom-W.

WIN 2-0 (1-0)

Match 2

Talonflame(Lead) | Kangaskhan(Lead) | Aegislash(Back) | Rotom-W(Back)

He uses the exact same four while I switch my team up, leaving out Lapras. From what my memory serves, he gets his Fake Out on my Kangaskhan before I can Fake Out his Talonflame which uses U-Turn, and my Rotom-H gets a random Thunderbolt off. I really wish we could save these matches so that I can describe them better! I don’t remember much else other than losing this match.

LOSS 0-2 (1-1)

Match 3

Kangaskhan(Lead) | Garchomp(Lead) | Talonflame(Back) | Rotom-W(Back)

This time, he leads with Garchomp and I am really annoyed because I left out Lapras again. I lead with Kangaskhan and Salamence instead. I switch Salamence out for Amoonguss on the first turn and go for a Power-Up Punch on his Kangaskhan as he does the same. The next turn, I Rage Powder and Return his Garchomp for the KO as he gets a critical hit on my Amoonguss with Return (which I think would have KOed at +1 anyway). Now comes the defining turn: he sends in Talonflame as I send in Salamence again, so he has -1 Talon and neutral Kangaskhan, he gets a Brave Bird critical hit on my Kangaskhan and uses Sucker Punch on my Salamence while I get the knockout on his Kangaskhan with Draco Meteor. It finished up with his Talonflame and Rotom-W versus my Rotom-H. I correctly predict a Protect and knock out the Talonflame but he hits the Hydro Pump to knock out my Rotom on the final turn. It was still close though, as it came to my Rotom-H at 70% versus his Rotom-W at 30% so a miss would handed me the game. He played well and capitalized on my mistakes and eventually made it to the Top 8, so congrats to Josh!

LOSS 0-1 (1-2)

So that was it, luck was not with me at the end but I had fun and I learned that Lapras is something I should bring to matches more often. At the end of the day, I had fun and made progress from last year so I’m actually happy with what I managed to do. Yes, I am disappointed that I don’t get to go to Worlds again this year but at least I wasn’t one match off like the past two years!

In conclusion, I would really like to thank Lapras, all my friends, and everyone I played during the two events. Lapras is a really underused Pokémon which can definitely counter a lot of the metagame with the right support. It’s a shame I didn’t make Worlds again because I really want to meet more of the community from across the pond but I am sure I will eventually find a way to the World Championships… anyone got a spare suitcase?
