This biases the tournament towards cooperation and makes it no longer a PD.
This biases the tournament away from the defect every single round strategy.
Consider creating an elimination tournament where you run the game, eliminate the bottom half of the players, then run again, then iterate until only one player remains. If you decide to do this and are willing to go to the effort of programming my entry (since I don't know Haskell) please enter me with a bot that always defects.
Thank you! These changes both make sense; I will adjust the tournament structure as you described and enter your bot when the tournament is open.
