Saturday 10 December 12:30 CET ICCUP channel: BWAPI





Hello everyone,



With the SSCAI tournament coming up, I am organizing another man vs machine tournament. This time the format will be only man vs machine, so no more bot vs bot or man vs man.



The tournament style is going to be kinda like an all-kill team format, with only 2 teams: human players and bots. The order in which bots play is based on their ranking on the SSCAI ladder. The order in which humans play is based on their maximum rank.





On the date of the tournament, the lowest ranked player that signed up and is in the ICCUP channel BWAPI channel will be the first to play against the bots. In the case of two players having the same lowest max rank, I will look in the ICCUP rank history to judge which player gets to play first.



The other players can observe the game if they want, but only if it won't cause problems for the bot or its opponent.



If the human player wins, he plays against the next bot on the list. If a bot wins, then the next human player will be selected with the same process as above (but the human player that played vs the bot is eliminated).



This process continues until either all bots or human players are eliminated.



Signing up as a human player:



The tournament is open to all ranks, but only suggested for D and C ranks. You can switch races between games (you can even pick random) so you only have to post in this thread with the following information:





ICCUP account:

Maximum ICCUP rank:





Signing up a bot:



Post the name of your bot here or pm it to me (or send me a message on the BWAPI irc channel).

On the date of the tournament I will take the version of your bot that is uploaded to SSCAI at that time.





Map pool:



All games will be played on the Fighting Spirit map.





Prizes:

10 euro for the human player that defeats the most bots during this tournament.



10 euro for the human player that defeats the last bot. Or 10 euro for the bot developer of the last bot if all registered human players get eliminated.



Prizes will be transferred through paypal.



Livestream/casting

Streaming your game is allowed.



Replays will be uploaded and a link will be posted here in this thread.



Other information:

- BWAPI bots should have the "complete map information" flag set to disabled (by default it is). If you cannot win with 100 apm, win with 100 cpm.
