The number of rounds will be determined by the number of entries. All robots will compete in every round. The tournament ends when there is only one undefeated robot. Pairings for the first round are random A match consisting of 501 games determines the winner of each pairing. Match winners receive 1 point After the first round, robots with similar win points are paired No robot is paired with the same opponent twice Final places are determined by the number of match wins. Ties are resolved by summed match scores The sample robot “target.prg” may be added to create an even number of contest entrants Match Settings Matches will be run with the settings listed below (most of these are default settings).
