Tournament results are in. Here's how we ran it:
For all pairs of AIs i and j, i played two games against j: once with i as the black player and once with i as the white player.
Any AI that did not compile, threw an exception, had an infinite loop, returned an invalid move, did not have a chooseMove( ) method with the proper signature, did not implement the OthelloAI interface, crashed, or took too long to make a move (5.5 CPU seconds--yes, we gave a bit more time to account for potential machine differences between the computers in lab and the one that ran the tournament) 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, as ICS 23 students, you should know that you don't turn in code that dumps debug output to the console!)
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. After all the games were played, the results of all games between pairs of AIs that were not disqualified were tabulated.
The order of finish in the tournament was determined by two factors:
The winning fraction, which was calculated using the formula: (wins + (ties / 2.0)) / games_played.
The total number of tiles earned in all games played, which was used as a tiebreaker if there was a tie on winning fraction.
Do remember that where you place in the tournament ranking, in and of itself, is not considered when grading your work.
The results
Player is the last four digits of your UCI ID# (or Access ID#); a few of you turned in secondary AIs, so the Player name also includes the rest of the name of your AI class. Total Record indicates your AI's total number of wins, losses, and ties in games played. Win Frac is calculated as described above. Total Tiles is the total number of tiles your AI earned in all of the games it played. Record as Black and Record as White show the number of wins, losses, and ties in games played as the black and white player, respectively.
