So the conventional commercial rules are not applied to tham since they don;t seek revenue but only fun and vanity. Don't forget that the BOR and Alinghi are owned by the billionares.

Ironically, it has been SNG/EB all along who has insisted that if GGYC were to win (as they now have) in court, that that would force a Deed of Gift Challenge. It could be that EB was making those statements purely for PR purposes to try and gain sympathy for their blatently sham challenge by CNEV, but perhaps now that CNEV is definitively out of the picture, EB might be willing to change his tune. Somehow, though, I personally believe that EB won't be willing to participate in a fair protocol when LE has Russel Coutts working for him.
