Congratulations to both Juan (Betsabe author) and Eugene (Hedgehog author) for sharing top spot in this division. It is likely that both engines will be promoted for the next series.

Thanks to all who took an interest in this tournament. It's always nice seeing so many of you visiting the broadcast.
