Hydra plays remote anyway, the cluster is located in Paderborn university under supervision from Ulf Lorenz. Hydra withdrew from world champs 2004 about 1 week before ict4 if i understand it well. The official identity from Hydra is UAE which is a middle east nation and a number of them is in war with Israel already for a long period of time (officially). UAE is one of them. I had hope they would join though in Israel because relationship israel <==> UAE didn't look too bad. But well probably that was false hope seen from the safe Netherlands. Perhaps some Israeli want to explain the situation. Best regards, Vincent
