If programs are choosen according to the money the selling companies provide, I guess humans should also be choosen by that system, to be fair. So the event should be called "world rich humans (or sponsored humans) team vs sponsored programs team", so that people would mistakenly think ther're best humans/programs playing there. Also the Kaspi-Fritz and Junior thing should receive a similiar name. Am I missing something? José C.
