PhilKing Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 So why is it called "open"? Anyone can apply - but the doctors should probably not bother. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 So why is it called "open"? It's a formality unless you are in bad standing with your federation (cheating or disciplinary actions etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
