RPG Superstar 2009 Top 8

The alpha rules (p. 41) reads: "Determine Success: If your attack roll exceeds the DC of the target, your maneuver is a success and has the listed.".
So, if the DC is 18 (first level-fighter with 15 strength) than the attacker must get 19. 19 exceeds 18.
Regarding DC's, the SRD reads: Some checks are made against a Difficulty Class (DC). The DC is a number (set using the skill rules as a guideline) that you must score as a result on your skill check in order to succeed."
Either the alpha rules are changing the nature of DC, the wording is misleading, or I am misunderstanding something?

I would expect it is just poorly worded. The whole concept of DC is that it *is* the target number, not the target number - 1. :)
