The overall performance of a player increases in importance while that of individual warriors lessens. With this in mind I decided to organise a tournament. Prizes are to be awarded in a variety of categories which will include best overall, best newcomer and best performance in a single round. The tournament will have 5 rounds. A player's total tournament score will be the sum of his (or her) highest 4 scores from individual rounds. Good Luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 1: TINY CORE (Deadline: 30th March 2002) The opening round will take place using the tiny hill parameters. Each player may enter up to two warriors. All warriors will play in a round robin tournament with no self-fights, three points for a win, one point for a tie. A player's score is that of his highest scoring warrior. pmars -s 800 -p 800 -c 8000 -l 20 -d 20 -P Look what scores well on Koenigstuhl's infinite tiny hill, find out how it works, and then try to beat it! Look what hasn't been tried in tiny yet, then give it a try. Entries to grumpy3039@hotmail.com please. PINs are not allowed. Other forms of hand-shaking are fine. Entries will be made public soon after the results are announced. If entering two warriors, please make sure they really are different, not the same program with different steps, distances, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 2: BIG LP NO-PSPACE (Deadline: ???) pmars -s 55440 -p 8 -c 500000 -l 200 -d 200 No annoying imps here :-) Again, you may enter up to two warriors. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
