Yes, I don't know if anythings intentional. Luck's also a factor. But I think all of the programs that are in the first several places deserve to be there, without a doubt, but I _don't_ think that the order of their standings is quite as important as people make it out to be. I think, look at the top ten, not the order of the top ten. > So is junior certainly the top with tournament timings-still?

I think each year the program's latest models will get more refined and slightly stronger, but I doubt if any programs get significantly stronger over a short period of time like one year. A year is only a few days. Pete
