Hello Nick,
What do you think about the idea to establish the series (anual)
champion of the KGS bot tournaments, by assigning some points
to the winners of each tournament. The points, as well as the number
of winners who can have the points, can vary depends on the number of
the participants of each tournament.
This could help many strong programs will participate most of the
monthly tournaments.
I agreed that this would be a good thing, and intended to announce the
rules before the July KGS bot tournament. I designed a scoring scheme,
but did not much like it. So I delayed announcing it, and tinkered with
the scoring scheme. I still did not much like it, so I delayed again
and tinkered again. And again, and again.
What I have settled on is described at
http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/annual/index.html
I still do not like it. Its most obvious fault is that it is _far_ too
complicated (the result of repeated tinkering). But further tinkering
is not going to help. What is described on that page is what I am going
to use, for this experimental half-year. For 2011, I will accept
suggestions for improving and simplifying the scoring scheme.
The results so far, after three tournaments in this half year, are
1st Zen on 12 points
2nd Erica on 10 points
3rd Many Faces on 6 points
4th Aya on 5 points
4th pachi on 5 points
6th Fueg on 1 point
6th MoGo on 1 point
