I agree that it is about equal strength to the top four.  I think that Spike
will place in the top four if we have 10,000 games.

However, I think that this result (and also the wins or draws against very high
quality opponents) will be the most surprising thing to most people about the
tournament.  Spike is on a track very similar to that of Fruit.
