I really don't see the impact of cheeleading or overspotting for R36F that
some made such a big fuzz about...they came in No. 26!.. What great impact?
Maybe their friends tried to help them but to no avail, it had no impact. At
the end operator skill won, not spotting or overspotting. Spotting or
overspotting did not make RW1AC/RA1AIP winners, they did it by themselves.
Lets no demerit their skills.
