Qualifying is not easy. Try it sometime and you will see for yourself. In any given year, there are more than 100,000 entries into a qualifying contest with only about 300 making the finals. This is what makes the NHC so special. You can't buy your way in. You have to earn it.

I have been in contests with Steve Davidowitz before but I wouldn't call him a regular on the contest scene. That said, my congratulations were sincere as his performance yesterday in besting a field of 220 very accomplished handicappers is something to be proud of.
