Actually they have to care to keep the sponsors they have now, IOW to keep the tournament interesting enough. IMO Jorges proposal would help to achieve that. If I were one of the current sponsors, I'd consider to withdraw my sponsoship after such a show. So they can be glad if they get two programs to participate (or any other idea to avoid so many draws) and cannot demand sponsorship money for that. Actually a strong program's team could demand an appearance fee! :-)) Because they could guarantee more attractive fights in most of the games. Regards, M.Scheidl
