I won't let one person submit two programs to compete in the tournament, but I came up with a possible compromise. If you want, you can send me two programs and tell me which one you want to compete. I'll run the non-competitor against the other programs as well, and tell you the results, but the non-competitor will not be ranked, and rounds involving the non-competitor will not be counted towards the scores of other submissions.
I’m curious what the rationale for this is, could you share it with us?
Edit: If it’s got to do with the scoring, I got it.
Yes, scoring.
On further reflection this seems to be a problem with the scoring. (Assuming that the point of the exercise is to investigate PD programs, not to grant medals to LW users.) But I don’t have a better proposal, so take this more like musings rather than critique.
I think that sort of effect is inevitable.
