hey guys,

Is it only important to pass step 3 ( if you need H1 ) OR is the score important too??

Good luck

hi maverick
its bad luck,pal. what else? Also as everybody says Match is like throwing darts in dark...u never know when one will hit the Bull's Eye..My known people told me that. Maybe there can be some other reasons too.
