I'd like to explain my idea more. The monthly tournaments (and current annual championship (FL class)) are not necessary to change. Just creating one more championship class for desktop computers (PC class).
An entrant has to state so if he/she wants to belong PC class (i.e., all entrants automatically belong FL class). One program can entry both classes.
