A forum user is asking how to get Buster 7.0.2 tested on the CCRL rating lists, specifically for blitz and 40/15 time controls. They want advice on navigating the submission process.

The real story here is the skepticism. Another tester chimed in to say that early results show Buster running significantly weaker than pre-release estimates suggested. That's a common pattern with engine releases. Developers and enthusiasts hype the improvements, then independent testing reveals the gains aren't as dramatic as promised.

Without official CCRL testing, it's hard to know where Buster 7.0.2 actually sits in the pecking order. The CCRL lists carry weight because they use standardized hardware, time controls, and a massive sample of games. Forum estimates are educated guesses at best.

The user seems genuinely interested in helping get the engine properly rated rather than just promoting it. That's the right approach. If Buster 7.0.2 is a solid improvement, the numbers will speak for themselves on CCRL. If it's overhyped, that'll show up too. Either way, proper testing beats speculation.
