Peter is going to operate Crafty.  I've been keeping him posted as we work on
obtaining hardware.  There simply wasn't enough time to get access to an 8-way
box with the round times unknown, the time-zone difference, and so many rounds
with possible playoff scheduling to boot.

BING.  you win the prize.  :)  AMD is building a 4-way box that we will use for
this event.  It will remain their property after the event is over...
