Seems to me that there are a few, such as SG and Kemper3, who feel it is 
their right to have access to the .twa file so they can run it on their 
private TWGS  as well as pick it apart in order to be able to hit the 
ground running in the tourney. As I see it this is just the latest form 
that the intense need to win a text based game by whatever means possible 
has taken.

I choose not to play tourneys because I have a full time job already and 
don't have the time nor the drive to subject myself to the aggravation that 
those games have transformed themselves into. But everyone is welcome to 
their own opinion, and I am sure there are those that will feel the need to 
deride me for my decisions as well for my voicing said opinion.

Silver..... stand your guns and do what you feel is right and let Kemper 
and SG and all the rest that get upset stomp and snort and carry on and 
make fools of themselves over a text based game.
