Hi Greg,

well there was some talk about new feature in february but all 
in all you are right. This might be my fault, (at least part of)
I was planing tournaments on a regular basis but was distracted
by several - personaly more important - events.

But nevertheless, if there is increasing interest in a new
RRobots tournament we should realy be able to have one again.

I would suggest the following:

All who want to paticipate in the next tournament can send their
robots offlist (I will provide an email address if we decide to
follow these rules). I will run a one-on-one tournament of all
submissions every day (if there are new submissions) and post the
results to the ML. (this keeps the noise low on the ML and 
everyone is able to see if there is further tweaking necessary)

The deadline for the last submissions would be 28-05-2006 so
everyone has time to code a real killer :)
All submissions will be posted on the website allong with the
results for everyone to learn from.

After that I would suggest running a two-on-two team battle
tournament with same rules for another month.

Ok, everyone who wants a new tournament please speak up 
(either here or in the rrobots forum 
http://rubyforge.org/forum/?group_id=1109 )

Everyone who may help to improve the web site or would volunteer
to run the dayly matches should also contact me.

BTW: is there a way to place dynamic content on rubyforge hostet
sites? (maybe this is a stupid question, I just didn't found it
yet)

cheers

Simon
