Ehm, Junior IS participating.

Nothing stops the Tigers or Fritz from participating. If they
don't want to well than it their problem isn't it?

Your comment that the tournament is worth nothing because those
programs aren't in is senseless. We're holding CCT3 and the program
that wins will be the winner of CCT3 and nothing more. This isn't
an official title of any kind.

Winning this tournament is an accomplishment but of course it
doesn't mean anything with regards to that programs performance
vs programs that weren't in. If anyone claims anything to that
matter they are simply wrong.

As for Hiarcs8 winning, we'll have to see. Could be Shredder(last
winner) or Crafy(first winner) too. Maybe Junior. Or one of the
amateurs if he gets lucky.

It's unfortunate Deep Fritz isn't in though. Maybe Franz is afraid
of another trouncing at the hands of Shredder (tounge in cheeck :)
