It isn't dead yet: we need to lose two more players for the Hill to be effectively dead, with the current three levels. I get your point though.

I guess interest in SEIV has been dwindling, and there were never *that* many players on the Hill (twenty at once? Perhaps a bit more). The ratings were pretty much in the same boat, except worse, and went down too (speaking of which, posterity should keep Asmala as the last leader of the tatings: Pairs was pretty much ended, giving him more than enough points to get back on the comfy chair).
