        Wouldn't it be simpler to let the defender make a bid, too, and then use the sum of the two bids as the basis for all further calculations? I still didn't have a chance to try it out, but I think it'd work.

        IIRC David Dunham was pretty sure it wouldn't, while Alex Ferguson was not sure it would but he was possibilist. What say you?
