@ Spongman
I find that very amusing, msrylander2 is actually the java example player.
I only submitted two players by accident and deiced to overwrite one with
what I figured would be a base line player. I would like to see a
round robin between the example players to see if using one language over
another gave you a better starting position.

Although a double elimination tournament is more interesting to watch, I
think a round robin would give more accurate results for who created the
best player (and give me a better indicator of where I ranked overall).

I wonder if we could stage a continuation of the contest and continue to
develop our players for another few months.

Mike
