I don't see it that way. It's just not Crafty's nature to be a money making machine. Same thing with several other programs there. It's rather pointless to turn the tournament into something that is only posible to compete in if you have a comercial program. Besides, why would he have turned Crafty into a commercial program in anticipation of this event? Doesn't make sense to me. Pete
