[Cs4800] Counting tournament tonight at 10 pm

[Srinivas N Jay]

Hi Dennis,

I get that. Now we are talking :) That's exactly is my point. We were asked
to bring back kicked out avatar to the tournament. Since we were not sold
to that idea, we dint implement it. We will talk to Professor tomorrow and
see what we can do.

Thanks a lot,
Srinivas
