[Cs5500] Fwd: [Cs4800] Tips for running local tournaments

[Karl Lieberherr]

Why is this issue still there? You found it and fixed it and now its back?

I remember Karan took the initiative?

It is essential, I think, that we switch very soon to Liao's SourceForge
setup
for all non-teaching avatar software.

Some more observations:

The proposer/opposer seem to be backwards in the "smart" histories.  My
avatar which only provides
ForAllExistsMin claims is listed as providing all types of claims whereas
the Baby Avatar does provide
all types of claims and is only listed as providing ForAllExistsMin claims.
 Looking at the raw histories
supports my guess the the "smart" histories are wrong.

Any time a claim is strengthened, there is no winner.

Was there any more info about when the test tournament is supposed to be
tonight?
