Both have their values and often >both show different winners. right. and this is - as i said - in different field completely the same. i wonder why people do not understand the difference and see that the problem is not in the events but in their ununderstandings of the events. you have to interprete lists and swiss-events differently. in the list the quantifying stuff gets counted ! in the event it is the human-stuff, the sports-spirit and the quality of the moment that counts. >Ed > > >>Enrique >> >>>Ed
