And who is to blame for that?

Rebel9 learner doing well against *ALL* other SSDF participants but not
against a hidden secret non public autoplayer that doesn't stick to
the general excepted rules of AUTO232 which instead of that created
his own rules and what's worse nobody can check.

As a result I can't judge what went wrong in these games, next it
prevents me to correct it because I don't know the reason.

Nice way of competing :)
