ICS 23 / CSE 23 / ICS H23 - Tournament Results
Winter 2006

---

A few words of explanation

In order to understand the results as presented, here is an explanation of how the tournaments were structured:

• There were two separate tournaments: one for ICS 23 / CSE 23 students and another for ICS H23 students. The results are presented separately below.
• The winners of these tournaments faced off in a one-on-one "champions" tournament to determine an overall champion.
• Any AI that didn't compile was immediately disqualified.
• In each tournament, for all pairs of AI's i and j, i played two games against j: once with i as the top player and once with i as the bottom.
• Any AI that threw an exception, returned an invalid move, did not have a chooseMove( ) method with the proper signature, did not implement the KalahAI interface, or took too long to make a move (7 seconds on a 1.6GHz Pentium M laptop with 1GB of RAM) was immediately disqualified and was not allowed to play any more games. (I should have also disqualified any AI that printed any output to System.out, but I opted to look past this problem. Still, you're at a point in your development as computer science students that you shouldn't be turning in code that dumps debug output to the console anymore.)
• After all the games were played, the results of all games between pairs of AI's that were not disqualified were tabulated. Any games played by an AI that was subsequently disqualified were thrown out. As a result, the number of games counted for each AI was the same.
• The order of finish in the tournament was determined by two factors:
  • The total number of beans earned in all the games played. This is called your score.
  • For two or more AI's with an equal score, the total number of wins was the tiebreaker.

In the ICS 23 / CSE 23 tournament, 62 AI's compiled and competed in the tournament, with 18 disqualifications. Most of these disqualifications were the result of making invalid moves. A few AI's threw other exceptions (such as NullPointerExceptions), and a few others were disqualified for taking too long to make a move. The 44 qualifying AI's played a total of 86 games, two against each of the other qualifying AI's.

In the ICS H23 tournament, 11 AI's compiled and competed, with 3 disqualifications, two of which were the result of taking too long to make a move, and one of which was caused by the AI making an illegal move. The 8 remaining AI's played a total of 14 games, two against each of the other qualifying AI's.

The winners of these tournaments had the most dominant win/loss records I've ever seen in the tournament: the ICS 23 / CSE 23 winner lost only one (and tied one) out of 86 games, while the ICS H23 winner won all of its games.

The results

In each table of results, IDSuffix is the last four digits of your UCI ID# (or Access ID#). Score represents the total number of beans your AI captured in all of the games it played. Record as Top and Record as Bottom indicate the number of wins, losses, and ties in games played as the top and bottom player, respectively. DQ means "disqualified."
