And I think its just going to become commonplace now.
While we recommend reading it, we dont recommend bringing it to set.
Chad Kultgen: Our publisher sent it to a handful of people we had contacts for.
Any of the players Im coaching, I give it to them.
But by that time, you obviously know the rules of the game.

This is not true.
I know youre clearly doing that.
But Ill do it in exchange for, say, first-round placement inParadise.
And get this in writing.
I think that can take you a long way.
We havent seen that in a while.
Im hopeful that well return to it.
Thats a place where you really can stand out because the field is still pretty sparse.
So shes still staying in the conversation, and thats really important.
