that's exactly how i read it, and considering past it would seem
pretty logical to me. i remember 97 when the program paying $1000 entry
fee still won the 'professional world title', as from the rest only
very few paid $1000.

This is how i see the single cpu title. We all go play under the
christmas tree, both kids & adults. David has put a 2 prices
under the tree called 'kid price'.

Commercially seen however this 'kid price' might be of major value.

As commercial thoughts aren't existing in the brains of
the large majority of writers of this CCC group i will
not say much about it, in that case the single cpu price is the
kids price.
