  GrahamClayton: After first reserve Lee Jones was drafted into the tournament, FIDE President Florencio Campomanes that a second reserve, Adrian Wills, should also be promoted from the Young
Masters tournament. This is how Australia ended up with five players in the tournament - Jones, Wills, Greg Canfell, Colin Davis & Shane Hill.
