Congratulations to Andy (Odonata author) for winning this division, and gaining automatic promotion for the next series.

Thanks to all who took an interest in this event.

[akanalytics]

Thanks Graham. Always great to watch these competitions. Many of the engines seemed very evenly matched.

The challenge for me is to prepare a new version, before I'm relegated again from the division above
