George It would be really nice if you bothered to format your text, your "one sentence" style is a bit annoying to read. What Dann is telling you is that no matter what format you choose, it will never be a replacement for a ratinglist and it will not be perfect. IMO if you have a beef with the format as it is, you are more than welcome to make your own and "show the world" how to run these kind of events in such a way that people will go; "Woooow i don't know how he did it, but in a one week tournament he managed to make the result as reliable as the SSDF ratinglist, he had fabulastic participants, no one have complained about it on CCC yet and never will! and the winner is unequivocally the best program in the world based on his magical event, oh and BTW nice pumpkin wagon he rides! yada yada blah blah." It is like with almost any other event, from soccer to chess, the winner is the winner of that particular event and the supporters has "bragging rights" untill next event, no one event will realistically reflect any real serious result, unless you are content with the authors sending their engines to some guy who the runs 10s of thousands of games for each engine against the others and report the results some 20 years later... I say, count your blessings and be grateful that someone even makes these events, i am sure they don't do it for the money... Regards Jonas
