Congratulations to Morgan (Stash author) for winning the tournament.
It would seem that Stash is now strong enough to jump straight into my upcoming Amateur D3 tournament.

Thanks to all who took an interest.
It is always nice seeing engine authors sharing ideas and information in the broadcast chat.

[Terje]

Thanks for the entertainment and gratz to Stash!
