Leave the 4th/5th place as a single game. That was fairly exciting.

Move the next two rounds (DS/CS) to a beset of 5. I know the first one...

good catch, Hugo. added "estimated" to the question.

I don't change answers. The reason is I don't want to mess with the history of what you've chosen, however I do leave...

I think they quote most mechanical disks with a MTBF of 1 million+ hours. I have to assume that they get these numbers from...
