Sorry Dann, didn't mean to doubt your word.  Tina, if your opponent ends up
being a computer, make sure that the computer team has the game logs available
to "your people" at the end of each game, failure to do so should be considered
a forfeit of that day's game on their part.

Also, make sure you iron out the rider clauses in the contract, things like what
food will be waiting for you in your dressing room (what color M&Ms etc.)  The
troubles encountered by Spinal Tap come to mind.

Should be a smooth ride.
