I don't think you can have a list of the 'best' 25 players in the country.
Despite the fact that there are many national tournements, not even those
who qualify always attend. Trips to LA can be expensive when you're coming
from middle america. Plus some great players might be dragged down by
their team, or might not play in all formats.
There's a reason questions like this, ACF packet hardness, and varous other
threads that have been on the board before turn into 'trainwreaks', and it's
because there really aren't any answers. Just opinons.
So not to shut you down, I'd like to submit my friend Stephen D. Gill to the list.
Cause that man could carry a team on his shoulders.
