Modify the Various Games program to allow Admins and Trainers to
create and run tournament plans, each composed of a name and
computer-generated ID, plus at least one game set (which consists
of a set of rules, a number of times to play, and a set of
non-human players to play that many times). Until the tournament
has been run, allow users to delete any of its game sets and to
add copies of all game sets from another (or the same) tournament
plan. After a tournament has been run, allow the user to view the
results (when it ran, win rates, draw rate, duration and average
number of moves per game), and to access the stats for each named
player and to access the leader-board for each named set of rules.
Also allow users to view a list of tournaments for each rule set
(including when run, number of games, draw rate, and moves per
game).
From each Leaderboard and Favoritism Stats, allow users to select
a set of players and automatically generate a tournament plan
that consists of 100 rounds for each possible combination of
players from that set. To qualify as a “Benchmark,” a tournament
must be created from a Leaderboard, include the top ranked player,
and include the Random player (after Release 10, it must include
the “Standard” player for that game). For each player, automatically
add the player it most prefers for that game. To qualify as “Social,”
a tournament must be created from Favoritism Stats, include the R
andom player, and include at least one player with Win Boost, Draw
Boost, or Kick Back over 7%.
Do not display game play while a tournament is running, but do add
the games to the record and update player stats. Instead of running
an entire set at a time, alternate between sets. For example in a
Tic-Tic-Toe tournament between Player A, Player B, and Random, after
A plays B, have each player play against Random before they play
each other again. This will prevent normalization of ratings during
favoritistic play.
Make it easier to generate games with exogenous uncertainty by
permitting game creators to select a “deck” for that game and to
place “dealt “ pieces for each player (or for no specific player)
in the starting configuration. At the start of each match, the
deck will be assembled (including any shuffling), then the
placed “dealt” pieces will be replaced top-to-bottom then
left-to-right with items from the deck top-to-bottom. If the
dealt piece is for a specific player, then convert it to that
player’s color when placing.
Test each of the clickable elements and test that it displays
appropriate errors for invalid entries. Before running
tournaments, jot down the ratings of the players; afterwards,
confirm that the sum of the ratings did not change. Run each
of these tournaments on distinct Random players:
Random Tic-Tac-Toe 500: Five sets of 100 games of
Tic-Tac-Toe between Random and itself
Random 3on15line 500: Five sets of 100 games of 3on15line
between between Random and itself
Random 3on5sq 500: Five sets of 100 games of 3on5sq between
between Random and itself
Random 3-player-Notakto: Five sets of 100 games between
between Random and itself and itself
Random 3-player-Misere-Notakto: Five sets of 100 games
between Random and itself and itself
Note the deviation in win rates, numbers of moves, and times taken to play.

The “Copy Tournament” button (fa-files-o) is available to
Trainers and Admins. It saves the current record and opens a
new (not yet run) Tournament page with same tournment_type,
games, players, and numbers of matches to play. Any editing of
players, rules or number of matches changes the tournament_type
to “Other”.
The “Start Tournament” button (fa-flag-checkered) saves the
current record, disables the display, and runs the tournament
(showing results for each part when run). The display is
reenabled when the tournament has been run (or when the user
selects “Abort”).
The “Study” combobox and button (fa-graduation-cap) becomes
available to Trainers and Admins in 1.8 Educated AI. It saves
the current record, opens the Curriculum of the player selected
in the combobox, and adds Tournament to the Curriculum (use
back button to undo). Default the combobox to the study option
most recently selected by the user.
The “Delete from Tournament” button (fa-trash-o) removes that
game (and players) from the page.
The “Add to Tournament” button (fa-plus) adds the rules sets,
players, and numbers of matches to play from the selected in the
Tournament combobox. Default the Tournament combobox to the
Tournament most recently selected by the user.
