OK I'll ask- 3 ALPHA 's ?????????

Yeh dumb question - but what is the difference berween the three
different types of ALPHA in the Tournaments please ?

Alpha is a test version that programmers use. When they are happy
that the program works good the rename it. To see the difference I
suggest you check how the break down of the games go.

PS: I could be wrong.

You are 100% correct in your explanation. But since I have started
with alpha, I may just continue with this naming scheme for future
series.
