How i read the suggestion from Levy is:
- you enter the building and can say
"i want to play for the wmcc title"
which means you might be multiprocessor
or not, but you play for possibly 2 world titles
a) WMCC title if you win the tournament in front of
everyone who mentionned 'wmcc' when entering
b) if you entered as amateur and you did end up highest
you get the amateur title if you have most points
"i want to play for the single cpu title"
which means you play everyone and if you have most points
in the category single cpu, then you win that title,
you can't win the other 2 titles of course.
