What makes you think so? Any experience that let you arrive at this conclusion?

I know that Crafty payed twice the entry fee last year, as Bob Hyatt could not
travel to Israel. The same should be true for Sjeng. There was no attempt to
make book authors or testers count as the program authors.

The other engine programmers were all present.

Maybe there is a lot to critizise with ICGA, but I am surprised how often points
are raised that people either don't know about or that are simply untrue.
