You should not have sent anything at all, unless everyone of the participants
send a copy too. What is this? a selective witch hunt against newcomers?
This is ridiculous and you should not have fallen for this. Is Vincent
going to send a copy too?
There was a similar problem last time against a program that did too well.
An amateur program and was accused of many things making the programmer
very uncomfortable, putting him in a position to prove his innocence.
Why? even pretigious people here get paranoid.

My quesion is: Is everybody now going to send a copy of the version
used in this tournament or you were finger pointed by a spurious accusation?
