THE GREAT CM10th SHOWDOWN! The tournament has now been edited to include ALL of the latest settings. Creep, CM9000 Minotaur and CM9000 Slayer 2b have been removed. 15 new settings have been added to make a field of 40! The tournament will take many more months to complete and is now a true CM10th Showdown with the CM9000 settings removed. From the first 27 rounds, you can see that the best CM9000 settings can hold their own under these tournament conditions, but Ray’s extensive testing against other programs will give a better comparison. The new settings added are: Myrddin (John Merlino) WoDra (author? – please advise) Vegeta 2D (Dom Leste) Cell (Dom Leste) Undertaker (Dom Leste) Berean 5.54 (Jason Kent) Clown 1.01 (Jason Kent) SoFar 2 (Dann Elwein) GL (Miro Lojkovic) Milan 2.5 (Milorad Madjar) Milan 2.6 (Milorad Madjar) Emperor (Graham Banks) Behemoth (Graham Banks) Juggernaut (Graham Banks) Scorpion (Graham Banks) With Creep, CM9000 Minotaur and CM9000 removed, the amended crosstable stands at: 15.5 – D1 Meandros 14.5 – Beast 14.5 – Milan 1.5 14.0 – Milan 2.1 14.0 – Milan 2.3 13.5 – R2D2 13.5 – Wrath 13.5 – D1 Pyr 12.5 – Berean 5.53 12.5 – C3PO 12.5 – Tsunami 12.0 – RIX 12.0 – Darth Vader 12.0 – Predator 12.0 – Steadfast 11.5 – Milan 2.4 11.5 – D2 Alos 11.0 – Solomon 11.0 – Schumacher 11.0 – Medusa 10.0 – Yoda 2.7 9.5 – Default 9.0 – Vegeta 2 8.5 – Cobra 8.5 – SoFar What will happen now is that I will give results of the new settings with the amended crosstables at various stages. Whilst these changes will not please everybody (especially the removal of the CM9000 settings), that’s the way it is as 40 settings is a massive amount. No further settings can now be added to this tournament! Good luck to all!
