The so-called "serpentine" system was one that Andy Baker and I discussed while standing around the sidelines at the Las Vegas Regional. It is interesting, but there are some definite pros and cons to the idea. But it was much better than one of the other ideas we discussed, that would never be implemented (let's just say that Andy promised if it ever was implemented, he wsa gonna get Midieval on my poor little, non-pig-wrestling, computer-geek behind; he said something about making his "sumo wrestling match with Jason Morrella look like a walk in the park" - and we all know how that ended...
