Yes. Congratulations to all.

Just a quick one - they were extremely brutal with disqualifiations for contact. The definition of contact seems pretty harsh...even touching lightly was enough. Is this up to the ref or is it now "no contact at all?"

Matt, in the end it does come down to the individual ref to determine how the contact occured. The rules do say NO CONTACT but you will always get some.
Saying this however TOUCH CONTACT is allowed in bb continous divisions.
