If they are, that would be more to their advantage, due to integral rounding.
In fact, if you played programs consistently 100 points above or so, it would
probably maximize your "point harvest."  But you would need to play a lot of
games before it worked out.  Because the calculations are not performed in
floating point (so I'm told), it is definitely an advantage to play stronger
opposition.
