Hand Generator
We are convinced that players would trust us to generate the hands for this tournament honestly.
However, just to make sure that there is no doubt we use software that allows us to guarantee to players this honesty.
Some two weeks before the championships, if possible, we will publish a file here that announces which sets of hands will be made, and contains a sort of signature that forces us to make these sets using two pieces of information:
A big number associated with the set, which we keep secret for now
Information described in this file which we do not know yet: usually the Dow Jones Index of some date between now and the championship
After the tournament we will publish the numbers for the sets, and then players can verify using the described software that we did what we promised.
Of course it is not necessary for any participant to do that, and even if nobody does the fact that it is possible should take away any need for conspiracy theories.
Documentation about the software for interested people.
