Congratulations to Ivan (Waxman author) for winning the tournament.

Tough luck, John (Myrddin author). It was very close!

Thanks to all who took an interest. The broadcast was well-supported.

[JVMerlino]

So close! But Waxman is definitely the stronger engine, so I'm happy with 2nd place in this group!

Thanks, Graham!
