As to Bill using a better design to finishing higher, thats a load of crap.

I was Bills caller, and had called him a cut in the second to last heat of the finals which cost him a couple points. Going into the last heat, Bill played it safe and took 2 points to finish in the top 10.

Without the cut, fully my fault, Bill could have finished in the top 5. It had nothing to do with his design.
