What about having all non-commercial programs send their sources in before any
of the events? Maybe have the event staff look it over the source and binary
before the event itself. Ff any changes were made (small evaluation type stuff,
aggressiveness, whatever small changes) before the event you could resubmit the
changes unless it is a last minute thing. Then, AFTER the event resubmit the
source and binary with noted changes. That way they can go through the games
with the binaries used & check the games.. plus.. they'd have the source there
to look over as well.

I'd also like to see full confidentiality of the data, too, incase any amateur
programs are aspiring to become commercial some day and would rather not have
their source picked through. This would mean a lot of trust to event staff..
but.. what else can we do?
