Rebel8/P90 has a rating of round 2440. Junior has to win about 2-to-1 to stay in its current rank. The SSDF also ran a match against Comet32/P90. Comet has a rating of around 2200, so Junior won 17.5-2.5 but still lost points on this. It had to win 18-2. Rather than thank the SSDF for this "easy" match, I asked them not to run matches with such a big rating spread (they answered they have a 400-difference limit). Amir
