The paying of the free drinks will not become a problem for me. Remember my security measure: at most 20 Francs per team. So 33 x 20 = 660 Francs is a trivial upper bound ( worst case scenario: one fast entry, 33 slow ones -- and each slow one wins against a fast one. ) Oops, an error: There are only 11 rounds. So the worst case would have been to have 3 fast ones and 31 slow ones which would have resulted in 31 x 20 = 620 Francs. In reality there are only 20 ( + 1 ) slow entries, so at most 21 x 20 = 420 Francs which would be about 126 German Mark. No problem for me... ( and there may be even cases where "winners" take cheaper drinks ... ) Craftys 2 mean only a very small "dentino". Concerning the Alpha speeds I also thought that both Shredder and Crafty are running on 500's. But in the games of round 9 533's were mentioned for both. I will ask Thorsten today.
