It is not a very weak program.
It is better than most of the programs in Leo tournament.

It qualified for the 3th division of Leo.

There are 72 programs in the premier division and division 1-3

There are 160 programs in Leo tournament.

A program that is in the best 72 out of 160 programs is not very weak program.
