Tiny stone challenge will take place from April 6th till May 9th. Challenge's webpage is located at http://inversed.ru/Tiny_Stone_Challenge.htm.

Rules:
1. Standard tiny hill specs apply: core size = max processes = 800, max cycles = 8000, max length = min distance = 20, P-Space allowed. Battles will be run in CoreWin with "Permutate" option.
2. Accepted warrior types: stones, stone + imps, non-scanning vampires and any other bombers. Not allowed: scanner hybrids, stone + papers, silkdwarfs.
3. No clones. Submissions must differ from published tiny warriors in at least one key component such as stone, clear or imp launcher. All entries will be published at the end of the tournament.
4. The scoring is multiobjective. Entries will be benchmarked against two undisclosed testsets, first one consisting of scanners (mostly oneshots), and the second one consisting of papers, both handcoded and evolved. Ranking will be performed according to the Pareto optimality criterion. A dominates B if both scores of A are greater than the respective scores of B. Rank 1 will consist of non-dominated entries, rank 2 of non-dominated entries after excluding rank 1, and so on.
5. Standings will be updated regularly. You can submit your entries to Reo...@Mail.ru at any time during the challenge period, but no more than one entry per day. A "day" starts and ends at 00:00 GMT. You can have no more than 3 warriors in the challenge at the same time. Include a ;kill line to replace an entry.
6. Standings will be seeded with some of the published stone warriors.
