This is just the way I see things:

Most impressive result: Yace 0.99x 5th place (Wonderful)
runner-up: Comet B.31 7th place (Still had 5.0/9 just like Yace)

Most disappointing result: Nimzo 8.0 11th place (What happend?!)
runner-up: P. ConNerS 10th place (How many processors does this thing need to
win?!) I expected more from it....

The team I feel most happy for: Deep Shredder 5.0 (Congrats!)
runner-up: Holmes 0.74 (Nice try! I hope it was a good experience!)

The team I feel bad for: Deep Fritz Paderborn (Soooo close! 2nd ain't bad!)
runner-up: Nimzo 8.0 (obvious reasons. It wasn't even going to enter the
tounament. I bet they regret it.)

My predictions before the tournament started:
1)Deep Shredder 5.0
2)Deep Fritz Paderborn
3)Nimzo 8.0
4)Gromit 3.8

Hey, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

Overall this was a great tounri, it really came down to the wire. But hey, who
are we kidding? I think in the back of our minds we all knew Shredder would win.
