Oops.  Heheh.  My bad.  But still:
"Rule 122/0 : Post-Win Reset
In the event of a Win being awarded, the Administrator shall reset all 
Scores to their initial value. If possible, play continues normally; 
otherwise, play ceases."

Play ceased. :p
Okay, I was wrong.  But my point still stands.  Whatever it was.  Oh yeah, 
saying that the game should be equalized for all players after a Win.
