Is this one rule for Chessbase, another for the rest of us?
If so, it doesn't sound so great to me.

I emailed David Levy some months ago about the "author must attend" rule, asking
if it could be dropped but he stated that it would be strictly enforced this
time.  Well, I don't have the time and money to travel to the other side of the
globe for a computer chess tournament every year so I decided to flag it.  Now I
hear crafty is playing, Bob almost certainly not going, and no announcement of a
rule change so what's going on here??
