From racing, to baseball, to hockey.... there is always some sort of equipment edge to be found. The CCT event is about the best _program_ winning. It is an open hardware event. You can take the worse program in the world and put it on the best hardware and it will not win 100% of the time. When the CCT is done we will have a winner. Plain and simple. What more is needed than a tournament, a result, and the enjoyment of observing it? Peter
