But I am prone to "tell it like it is..." For example, how close to the actual WCCC event this year was it before the players were even announced? I can recall years past (Jakarta, 1996 for example) where we got _no_ information whatsoever; or another (Paris 1997) where Thorsten used his cell phone to get results out of the event playing site. Not great. Yes, I probably should have known who participated, but I didn't. I can probably tell you the top few for any ACM event or WCCC I ever played in. But not every participant... Blame it on old age, lack of interest, etc. :)
