Tournament Pages

Tournaments are for non-human players (they involve many more matches than human stamina would permit). They are experiments to confirm which AI, Team, or Corp is the best at a specific event or in general (i.e. for the most comprehensive Olympics).

Olympics are games composed of diverse events which no competitor has ever encountered before. Rather than play an Olympic event directly, a player must create a copy of itself to play (although the outcomes impact the skill-level estimate of the original). The copy is archived never to play again–that prevents players from mastering Olympic events in advance. An Olypics is a race to develop new mastery, so Olympic champions are the players most likely to succeed when facing novel situations (or in competitions won by changing the rules).

Trainers can create a new tournament from a Leaderboard or Favoritism Tab, using the checkboxes to select players. Special security is required because a very complicated tournament could take days to run.
