I think that it is an important reason not to allow the same book for many programs. You can expect cheating if you give one person the responsibility of many programs. It is not a boring argument but a clearly relevant argument. <snipped> >why not? >I definitely feel cheated, I would like to use the Kure book as well :) Why? I think that it is a bad idea.

This is not the case that we talk about. I have no problem with the ssdf competition. We are talking about world championship and the commercial book is not the book that is used so cheating is possible if you have the same book maker for more than one program. Uri
