NOTE:  It is a generally-held opinion that hardbat play versus sponge
       is a very different game than hardbat vs. hardbat.

       This list is included to show that you don't need sponge to
       play a competitive game.  As we see, the average ratings of
       hardbat players, even against sponge, is actually slightly
       higher than the average sponge rating!
