No, it doesn't really matter. There's nothing wrong with attempting to create
your own Paderborn at home. Especially if the various authors are as
coorporative as they seem to be. An excellent supplement to the usual
tournaments or testmatches, neither better or worse.

The problem as I see it for those that object to the tournament format, is the
person responsible for running it. That IMO is the largest obstacle for the
credibility of the result, whether deserved or not.
