Even though I'm not a part of the monthly competitions yet hopefully it's ok for me to take part in the teaching exercise(s).
Dave,

Absolutely you should take part! PPs will appear in either RDSS format or DRF/BRIS/Equibase format depending on who's posting and depending on historical excerpts used. It's the same info, and the lessons can be taught and learned regardless of tools. I presume that was FTL's point in choosing to post in the RDSS Contest Forum in the first place.

Anyway, the RDSS PPs are as good as any (and better in many ways, IMO). Where you see advice given to 'not use the computer', substitute that for: don't use the software's analysis tools.

Ted
