Competition Schedule for Software Development

Competitions in the SCG-based software development process
serve as integration tests of your agents.
While the agents compete they also collaborate
and help each other to find bugs or conceptual problems
in each other. Whenever you lose reputation, find out why
and you might find a simple bug in your program or you might
find that the other agent has superior knowledge that
you should acquire too.
When an agent acquires new knowledge, eventually the other agents
need to acquire it too. Otherwise their reputation goes down-hill.

We will continue our frequent competitions:
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at midnight.
Currently we have TBall competitions.
And soon we will have secret TBall competitions.
The switch-over to secret TBall will be announced 3 days ahead
of the switch.

Those competitions grade your agents with detailed constructive feedback.
If there is no update needed to your agent (e.g., you were the winner
of the previous competition and you have maximal reputation),
please submit your old agent for the next competition.

Summary: Competitions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
exceptions: Oct. 12
There might be other exceptions.

Grading:
Of all competitions within the same category, 
only the best 75%
will be counted. For example, if we have 8 TBall tournament competitions
where your agent accumulated this many wins:
45 42 51 47 54 46 0 30
only the best 6 will count:
45 42 51 47 54 46 

If an agent does not participate in a competition, it will
have 0 wins.
