Anyone who sleeps during a contest for any reason obviously 
does not want to win very bad. The only possible exception 
is a ten meter or 160 meter contest.

I just can't imagine being "tired" and pulling the plug from 
anyone who has any intention of winning. So snoozy lost 
because he was snoozy, not because of the live scores.
