):o If we used that AIO-after-the-Masters rule, we'd be doing 11x0s next Saturday (if there were a competition). No, thanx. ):o Moo.

I agree ! but I think Sheikh_yerbouti would beg to differ..... probably only be 15 minutes of clicking instead of 15 hours!

i like 8x2's :)...but these aren't in AIO's so by that method those as well as most other variants would be ignored (i.e. 6x5's...both those could be quite the AIO's), anyways the AIO's has a good base...as there are obvious variants to avoid...who wants to do a big contest of 4x4 streaking? In general I would say limit it to 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 sums. 10 sums I'd through out the 4x6, 5x5, & 10x0, also get rid of 4x7 & 4x8 with the 4x9, 5x6, 6x4, being iffy. obviously you'd have to work out which variants to include...and maybe the AIO is the best way to determine it...of course I think it should be based on an AIO at least 72 hours in advance to give people a chance to prepare if they want to compete. if not someone can just do a random selection and anounce what was chosen here.

Can i ask a dumb question - when someone refers to a 14 sum game - what exactly does that mean - I see the term over and over and it just dawned on me to ask :O)

So this 13x1 was in fact the first SSC? It still has 3 of the top 5 all-time daily results of this variant, though it was someone else and not kenwa who broke the 1000 barrier a few years later.
