But the original premise was "no US program would be competitive at the WCCC." I believe that is nonsense, purely from a Crafty perspective, much less considering Ferret and others. It wouldn't matter whether Crafty with nX time advantage wins 6-4 or 10-0. Or if it draws 5-5. It would _still_ be "competitive". That was my point before this beyond left field...
