They are not exchanging moves!  My mistake is assuming that they all had all of
the top programs like myself.  At least Shep and Enrique have all of the
programs.  I was saying for instance Shep would play Cm6000 vs J5, and Enrique
would play R10 vs MCP8 on his own two computers.  They report the verdict of the
 outcomes to each other, to see what program advances in the tournament.  This
idea has some complexities but they may be able to be worked out to create a
faurly large and/or quick tournament between the programs.
