That's correct, but nobody asked me what this connection is exactly. If they
had, maybe they would have realized I was elligible for the prize as well... I
entered the tournament as "amateur", and paid the corresponding entry fee
myself. If this does not allow you to be considered as "hobby" program, well...
Anyway, it's not a big problem. I enjoyed the tournament and will keep a very
good memory of it.
And I'm looking forward playing Ferret in the next one! :)
