<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">One thing I would perfer - the Offiial Ranks only list your<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR> highest bow score. So people like Seamus who *also* have a GBE with handbow get overlooked because their GBE xbow score is higher. Can we change that? </SPAN></div>
