 The quality of this particular DB is just not so good - though commercial it
 is. Parallell with the trade of games there might be some weirdnuts out there
 who think this is funny. Don't think these games are put there deliberately by
 the seller though. When there is no carefully worked through
 tournament/playerbase these things just happen. New games are flowing in and
 just added to the DB. As said - normal duplicatecheck doesn't find these games.
 But they get visible when you try to make a tournament complete.
