Undecided. I was kind of disappointed with the results of this one, but I'm not optimistic that another one would end up any better unless it has a better structure. I plan to run another tournament if I come up with a way to change the rules that would make it easier to submit effective programs, which I have not made any progress on so far. Some people have made suggestions in the comments, but they range from probably not helpful to difficult to implement.

Would-be submitters have a lot more information going forward. In particular: if you want to win, you have to be able to beat a random bot.
