For the two WMCCC events, absolutely. I generally 'freeze' things 90 days
before such an event. Allow minor tuning (eval changes) up to about 30 days
before the event, then 'live' with that thru the end of the tournament. In the
days of Cray Blitz I couldn't do that because we didn't get access to the cray
often enough and we often were 'tuning' right up to the tournament, which hurt
us often. More games are lost by last minute changes than all other cauases
lumped together. We used to joke at the ACM events that you could tell the
'beginners' because they were always logged on between rounds making serious
changes to their programs...
