This has been discussed. We of course know from the past CCT where the amateurs
_should_ fit in. There are also people who will be observing game and analyzing
the positions to see if a certain amateur program is playing like a commercial.

I have asked 5 people individually to do this for me.

This is really dependant of number of participants, and the quality of play from
the titled players.

No matter how we seed, if all the humans lose the first few games then there is
not much we can do.
