Re: The final month

Nice summary JW, I just disagree with 1 thing:
An English solo in 201 will not decide the team-championship. Even 
with that extra 18 points, the Stephsons are not sure of victory. All 
the other games still undecided could easily close the gap. It would 
require most games to go against the Stephsons though.
Especailly game 206, where Germany could be eliminated and France 
take the unshared first spot. That alone would lose the Stephsons 9 
points and gain S-F 9 or 10.

Currently no single board can decide the team-championship: it is too 
close between the 3 contenders. It will be an exiting few weeks ;-)
