I agree that solutions should go in one pool. But PGAS is not currently setup to allow for mid-tournament switches. In other words, once you have "officially" begun playing individually during a tournament, you will not be able to switch to team play. If individuals want to "get cracking" before joining a team, they should play on their own and not submit solutions individually. Enabling mid-tournament switches would add a lot of unnecessary complexity to PGAS. --Dave
