Three way tie for top spot!
Congratulations to all three authors.

The new version of Nalwald will promote, but Altair and Sting's promotion will likely depend on the ratings of engines finishing near the bottom of Division 5.
Of course, new engine versions cause changes of division as necessary as well.

Thanks to those who followed the tournament.
It was nice seeing some of you visiting the broadcast.

Three way tie for top spot!

Indeed, very exciting! It was nice seeing Nalwald be in the top spots (even if that's because he dropped from Division 5 ).
