it`s unimportant how shredder plays in the ssdf-list. or which program
leads it.

the ssdf is not a public event. it`s not live. it`s somewhere,
and nobody witnesses what happens there. but a championship is live,
under the big-brother eyes of several people, including ICCA officials.
And shredder has won both BIG and micro championship. it cannot
play much better. there is no ther title to win.
Championships are official events. long range planned :-)) and
public.

ssdf lists are unofficial events, at home somewhere, nobody witnesses it,
an cannot be valuated the same level like an official event of the icca.
