I'm not saying anything, I'm waiting on you to post credible info.

I think xman should lock this thread now as you're done.

I won and you lost, time to fight another battle.

Answer the question, or you lose because I've swamped you with evidence. 63 countries, bub. And likely 63 comps. So where are your 3000 odd?

No it's not. I have provided the names of 63 countries that play AFL which is in effect 63 competitions by default. Provide 3000 RL competitions, and then you might be a chance to win this one.

That's right, Parra, you have one week to provide 3000 OPEN AGE comps in RL outside Australia.

Or the BS point is yours!
