Because this will be the final series that WildCat will be eligible for (unless a new version gets released), the top engine will gain automatic promotion and there will likely be no automatic relegation. The fate of the second top engine and the bottom engine (perhaps others also) are likely to be determined by grading matches before the next series.

Ha!, this time Rotor succeeded to stay in the 2nd division (probably) .
Thanks for the tournament Graham.
Jan
Ray will be pleased that Rotor survived too!
How is progress with Rotor going these days?
Cheers,
Graham.
Well, good and not so good
I have embarked on a major refactoring of the source code. It started out quite small and innocent, but by now I have rewritten major parts of it. I am turning C code with low level speed optimizations into clean C++ classes. Unfortunately this has caused the speed to drop by about 25%. So I first have to compensate for this speed loss before even thinking about improving strength. But I like how the code looks now .
