 Your mixing apples and oranges. At 30/0, 60/0 DJ probably is in the 2700 range.
 I don't know anyone who makes that claim for DJ at 40/2. IMO the match could go
 either way. But after watching DJ shred her in the first game perhaps the
 program is now the favorite. My congradulation to the DJ team for another fine
 win!
