Just goes to show you how ridiculously over powered HCA is doesn't it? =P
If you played on whitebeards court, no doubt he would've beaten with him playing TIE and you playing Normal.
Only way to beat whitebeard is to take HCA off him, but he is on his way to another 22-0 league record for HCA thru out the entire PO.
Or you can hope for HCA in the Cup against whitebeard. If its played on a neutral court then you better be prepared to buy some rentals. =P
