We have seen this time and time again.  In tournament play, the comps are 100 to
200 points higher than in Match Play.  When the top two GM's have months to
prepare and then only draw the comps (yes the comps were on fast hw, but not
that much faster than top dual's, perhaps the same now).  The top 7 comercials
are super GM's, some freeware are GM's and some freeware are lower.  It is truly
amazing.
