from page 11: Opposed Tests When two characters are in direct contest with one another an Opposed Test is used. Each Hero makes an Attribute Test at the same time. The Hero with the higher margin of success wins. This test is commonly used in wrestling, grappling and racing. this makes sense. the character with the highest attribute has the highest probability of winning. from page 45: Grappling (3/ST) Opponent must be in the same space (5’) in order to grapple. A grapple is a contest of ST between two opponents with the goal of physically restraining the other. Each Player tests 3/ST. The winner is the one who passes the test with the lowest die roll. this contradicts the passage from page 11. if you strictly use the lowest die roll, ST12 character has the same chance of winning as his ST30 opponent. consider: ST12 rolls 11. <- lowest roll but smallest margin of success ST30 rolls 13. <- highest roll but largest margin of success (forgive me if this has been pointed out before. i searched the forums for 'grappling' and 'grapple' and did not find this)

i plan to use the highest passing roll as the winner. no math, just number comparison, and probability favors the character with the highest attribute.

Thank you very much for pointing this out! Yes the Page 11 Opposed test is the CORRECT one to use, the other was a mistake...crap!
