So to clarify the interpretation is:

	actor - decides bid
	opponent - non-bidder
	attacker - winner of contest
	defender - loser of contest

and with these definitions we use:

        edge/handicap modifier to AP lost/transferred = (attackers weapon rank + sum of attacking feat edges) - (defenders armor rank + sum of defensive feat edges)

No?
