Re: boring matches

How about using supervised ruling? Since Olivier probably watches some
(if not all) of the matches anyway, it could be possible for the arbiter
(Olivier and/or some other person) to judge a robot "boring", which will
bar it from playing further matches until controller (or some other
robot's data file) get updated by its owner. Or maybe use a warning
system (e.g. 3 warnings, then bar until update).
Of course, this will take up more human time than the simpler "moved
less than Y m in X secs => lose match" rule. <at> |
Maybe moderators
could be used for the purpose?...
