**************************************************** * NSFCWT: Rules for round 1 * **************************************************** Submit one warrior that does well in both one-on-one combats and multi-warrior play. Your warrior will participate in two battles: 1) a round-robin involving all warriors including self-fights (like the standard hills) 2) a multi-warrior battle where all warriors fight at the same time (like the multi-warrior hills) At least 100 rounds are played for both round-robin and multi-warrior battles. The score for this round is calculated using the average of the two ranks; i.e. if your warrior finishes #1 in one battle, and #5 in the other, the average rank is 3. Use of the predefined constant WARRIORS is not allowed, since this would take the challenge out of this round. We will however not check for unique PIN numbers (hint, hint). Core size, max. processes, ICWS'94 dialect etc. are those of the redcode-94 and redcode-94m hills. Mail your warrior to Stefan.Strack@vanderbilt.edu by Friday, Oct. 13, 20:00 CST. You sign up for the entire NSFCWT by submitting your first round warrior; the tournament is limited to 36 players on a first come basis. Happy redcoding, Nandor & Stefan
