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

[Karl Lieberherr]

Another good catch by Dennis.

Please can Tuba propose a way to check that only protocols permitted by the
configuration file can be used by the avatar.

To continue this thread of tidbits,

The Admin doesn't seem to care if players violate the "protocols"
restriction.

The baby avatar also doesn't seem play by this rule?

e.g. I have

protocols: scg.protocol.ForAllExistsMin

in my configuration file

but my games are full of Maxes and Equals as well (Baby-sourced and without
Admin intervention)
