Just noticed something strange. Crafty and Junior finished with scores of 6.5, which would (should) mean we tied for places 5/6. But somehow the final crosstable has crafty 5th and Junior 6th. The "SB" tiebreak somehow favors Crafty. I'm not sure how this is computed, but in a RR, it would seem that tiebreaks are pointless unless it somehow factors in that we had 6 blacks, or that we had black against stronger opponents and white against weaker opponents, or whatever. Anyone care to enlighten me on how that particular tiebreak works? I notice that Sjeng and Shredder are listed as tied for 3/4, with the same SB scores... Would seem more reasonable that Crafty/Junior are listed as tied for 5/6...
