Okay for those who have wanted an online (for the moment free) site
with a rating system, this is IMO the best. Your are reevaluated
(up,down, or static) every 30 hands. It does an evaluation for both IMP
pairs and MP but each has it's own set of 30 hands.  Unlike OKBridge
you don't get screwed by the 7.5 IMP cutoff that OKB's Lehman
evaluation system uses.
