As I've stated all along this tournament is just one piece of the puzzle. Ray's testing against other programs is a further piece of the puzzle. I don't think that anybody can state with any certainty which is the best overall CM9000 setting taking all conditions into account. This was a tournament that many had expressed an interest in seeing happen and I was happy to oblige! Your views against such tournaments have been stated on numerous occasions and should be well known by now, Regards, Graham. PS - I'm keeping a keen eye on CM10th Yoda's performance in your tournament. At the moment it seems comparable with CM10th Cobra's performance in Ray's tournament.
