Agreed Andrius. =A0Kudos to Ed for stepping up to run games at all.

Besides, any rating scheme should be constructed with data for review in ha=
nd. =A0Even if that was not the initial intent, it helps to have 10 games c=
omplete and look at how they played out. =A0I can assure you that there wer=
e not 70 different players, nor did every player finish every game due to r=
esignation or abandonment, etc. =A0

Let Ed take his time to develop the system he wants. =A0

-Mark

Vole was a replacement for Owls or sold as so. Yet after many request it's =

Now I understand this is free and that that is that. But don't state you wi=
