I'll assume the latter. If I understand the tournament setup correctly your main interest is to get human masters involved. But I think as is it doesn't look too attractive. To rise the prize fond you need 50 paying participants as a start - is this realistic? So are the prizes guaranteed - I would hate the idea that you end up paying 1000$ out of your own pocket and maybe you are being too ambitious here. I am also sceptical that you'll find many titled players interested in paying the entry fee. Also while I can understand your reasons for not limitting program users, they make the field very unattractive. You'll end up with like 10 Shredders and 10 Fritzes - which human would be interested in taking part under these circumstances? I'd love to be more constructive but I don't have any good ideas to solve the basic problems with your setup - maybe someone else will. Peter
