Ok, thanks Rémi. I don't think I was ever charged double, but then again, the only time I participated in both 9x9 and 19x19 was in 2008 and maybe I just had some special deal with Joke.
Anyway, let's just see what comes out. I was already seriously considering to drop 9x9 because it tends to become too much of an opening book contest. Further, I never had much interest in 13x13 anyway, so perhaps Jaap will make my choices easy :-) BTW Are you planning to participate with Crazystone?
