That is another kind of competition. I have not seen an uniform platform
tournament in several years, but they are interesting. If you have the resources
and interest to sponsor one, do not hesitate to contact ICCA and offer your
help.
Paderborn is an open hardware tournament. There is nothing particularly "right"
