When I went to order the second server for the computer championship, I found that the hosting company no longer offers a system with the same hardware configuration as the first server. So I had to order two new servers with the same hardware configuration. I will be transferring the bot accounts over to the new servers today. I had to disable logins to the accounts while I do the transfer. I will email you new login info when when transfers are complete.

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
It's a quad core! Bye bye bomb? Thanks for the upgrade omar. Although it must be a bit disappointing to Janzert who was working on the assumption that it would be a Duo.

I didn't actually upgrade. The hosting company discontinued the previous hardware and offered this in its place.

I have to revise my odds. I'm guessing that the quad core will give a 120-point rating advantage to the parallel bots over the non-parallel bots.

Ouch, yes not just a quad core but the individual core speed went down from 3Ghz to 2.33. Ah well I knew that parallelizing it was something I needed to do right after the CC anyway.

Omar, there are conflicting dates on when we need to have submitted our final programs by. In one place it says the 25th, but in another it says the 28th (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/wcc/2009/rules.html).
Could I request that you give us until the 28th in order to allow a little time to adapt to the new server?
Thanks
Toby

Where is the 25th mentioned? I've certainly been planning on the 28th listed near the top of the rules page.

Thanks for letting me know about this Toby. I changed both pages to be the same and increased the time a bit. So instead of before Feb 28th, it is now before 6PM EST Feb 28th.

Whoops, I tried to reply to my own post #14, and accidentally over-wrote it instead. I'm not trying to destroy the record of my prediction, which as near as I can remember was
35% Bomb
30% Clueless
20% Gnobot
10% Opfor
5% Sharp, Badger, Zombie, Rat
Given the quad core I'm going to bump up Clueless and GnoBot for a new prediction:
40% Clueless
25% Bomb
25% Gnobot
5% Opfor
5% Sharp, Badger, Zombie, Rat
Someone else should jump in with their predictions, or else I automatically am the best predictor, and I win the Spectator Contest by default.

Using the current ratings of the bots and the tournament simulator with rating uncertainty of 100:
1 clueless 60.3%
2 gnobot 30.9%
3 opfor 4.3%
4 bomb 3.9%
5 badger 0.3%
6 zombie 0.1%
7 sharp 0.1%
8 rat 0.1%

Bomb has a lot of experience in the big matches. The rookie bots aren't used to the venue and are prone to mistakes. So I'm going with:
Bomb 40%
Clueless 35%
Gnobot 34%
Opfor 31%
Badger 30%
Zombie, Sharp, Rat 25%
The fact that these don't add up to 100% is due to round-off error.

ide say its about
Clueless 40%
Gnobot 25%
Bomb 15%
Opfor 15%
Badger 4%

well...badger beat gnobot so im inclined to increase its chance and reduce gnobots chance because i havent seen anyone else lose to badger yet
