The spirit of the CCTs is, that it is an author-tournament. When just some small number of operators are there and the author is looking around from time to time I am fine with that. (I know that it was opposite with Quark last time - finally I think it was not the best idea to do it that way... I fully follow here Tords arguments) But understand also us authors: It is way more interesting to discuss stuff with the other authors. By the way: Operators are even worser at on the board tournaments. It's simply not the same thing. As far as I know this is one reason why Frans Morsch does not take part anymore at the Dutch Open. One of the good things of Paderborn was always that the programmer himself must operate or at least be at the tournament site. (Only exception for a program that fullfills the field to an even number) - this seems to have changed recently. This isn't any good, IMO. You know, the programs participate, but the programmers are the soul of the tournament. Everywhere. I hope that CCT will never degenarte to something like the CSS Online Masters. (Of course those guys have also fun and it is an interesting tournament, but I would never play there myself... And as far as I understand CCT is for programmers. The option with the operators was especially for those which do not have good hardware... programmer or team-members should be around if in any way possible) Greets, Thomas P.S.: I am quite sure that Fabien will look around. Or at least Joachim.
