  9. <p>Rock, apparently you're not aware but I don't cover UBOC in my article. Special series tournaments are covered separately by someone else and taypaur was given a nice feature several days ago for his win. I apologize if I missed someone else, I track all of these tournaments manually and do all the searching as well, mistakes are bound to happen.  I'm only human :(</p>
