I agree for all but one:  The organisation in Paderborn was really
  superb, and they had a big tournament hall, and lots of spectators.
  Remember the last round where the board of "Dark Thought vs Genius"
  was ringed around by almost a hundred or so afficionados !

For the next events the people should remember and take care.

From my point of view another thing was really annoying, namely that
K6-233 processors had been promised for all participants ( which would
not bring their own hardware ) until three days before the event, and
that then only K6-200 were provided. I don't know who was "guilty" of
this. In any case, it should not repeat in forthcoming years.

Please, jump over the gap.  Some more stuff comes very below.

Good point !
>I think most of the participant enjoy the current tournament !
That is exactly my impression from Thorsten's phone calls.
>And they will tell that to you when they go back home.

I myself have enjoyed/enjoy very much to play the "relay" between
tournament hall and internet ! And Thorsten was/is exactly the right
person to have the handy.

rounds!
