Returning to tournament only due to popular demand
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 1999 12:30 pm
Due to popular demand and since my real gripe was with the change in attitude at standard MARP I will un-zero my tournament scores only.
<p>
I still have a problem with the way the MARP scores/attitudes are changing but someone else was also complaining that my sudden withdrawal from the tournament had had too drastic an affect on the standings.
<p>
Whether or not I choose to submit any new tournament recordings is still undecided and I certainly don't intend to return to MARP itself for sometime yet.
<p>
I have 3 kids and a wife expecting more of my time these days and I'm working on a "free" programming project for a Budget Advice Trust that needs a new Y2K compliant system before the end of this year and being a trust doesn't have the money to spend commercially. While these are also part of the reason I dropped my scores - so I wouldn't feel the same urge to record some more games - I was not happy about the new attitude in MARP.
