I suspect they are rather gun-shy right about now. If >they hand the micros their hats a few times it may be easier to arrange matches. Good point. The way that the purse for the GM is likely to be structured provides incentives to draw rather than lose, and win rather than draw. This should encourage this GM to prepare at least somewhat seriously as the winning fee will be 4 times the losing fee. lose = X, draw = 2.5 X, win = 4 X. Matt Frank
