Actually I had meant simply another tourney. However since you raise the
subject. It's true naturally that there are more programs available now.
And since there obviously is plenty of time, maybe there should be another
qualifier. That would give at least a chance of a Dual Tiger and a Dual
Shredder. Have you broached the subject of playing another qualifier with BGN?.
