In the Team Match between the Fast Players Group and the Unity Group, there were 20 boards, and each team scored 20 points. This should obviously be a draw, and yet the Fast Players Group was awarded the victory. On one page the score is displayed as 20-22. This is clearly not even possible as there were only 40 games played, not 42. I don't know where these 2 mysterious victories came from, but it affected the overall outcome of the match. Please correct this. Thank you.

1. Everyone is equal!
2. Some of us even more equal!

Maybe it's because two of the Unity team were banned for cheating including one guy whose rating was under 1200 (!). Or maybe they've hacked into the system, like you say.

it shows 20-20 to me and says FP won the match....if those banned people wouldn't count Unity Group would have won!

Hehehe, a guy under 1200 was cheating? I wonder which chess engine did he use...
multiple accounts?
Ahhh... good point!

I actually brought this point up once before. It's been so long, that I forgot about it. I'm actually surprised that it was never fixed. Usually Erik and his staff are right on top of things.
And just for the record, I think the title of this thread is unfair. I think it's much more likely that there's just a glitch or a bug somewhere, and I'm confident that Erik and his very capable staff will figure it out. I seriously doubt someone from the FPG would actually hack the system just to add an extra 2 points to a single match.
