  It doesn't make sense to organize something you complain about. Either ask
_before_ that it is a WMCCC this year or don't organize something you're
against.
  Your problem is that you said here that Falcon only loses consistently to
Shredder and now you need an excuse. But you needn't, actually. Just accept WCCC
is not a measure of strength but just a party for programmers and teams and try
to prove your strength in more scientifically tests like SSDF.
