[Christopher Mallon]

Chris, why do games have only one players rating?

Only the person who is assigned the Monroi seems to have their rating in. I will fix them all later when we make the big file.

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Chris:

Great reporting ! Thanks for keeping us all in the loop.

After you get some sleep, is there a chance you could post the standings after round 4? Thanks.

Bob
