i just got off the phone with juan maldonado ,and he informed me that usac did a recount and he placed 2nd in sq consumer .
he was so exited he had a BBQ (fajitas) and beer with owr buddies in Monterey.
he also went back on his score sheet and he did get 2nd place.
he wanted to thank usac for all the honesty and time taken to recount ,he doesn't have enough words to thank all the people involve in the event .
p.s. now he wants his trophy.lol
