Tournament
The first BotPrize Tournament was held in Perth, Australia, on 17 December 2008, as part of the 2008 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games. Each competing team was given time to set up and adjust their bots to the modified game client, although no coding changes were allowed at that point. The tournament was run in rounds, each a 10-minute death match. Judges were the last to join the server and every judge observed every player and every bot exactly once, although the pairing of players and bots did change. When the tournament ended, no bot was rated as more human than any player.
In subsequent tournaments, run during 2009-2011, bots achieved scores that were increasingly human-like, but no contestant had won the BotPrize in any of these contests.
In 2012, the annual 2K BotPrize was held once again, and two teams programmed bots that achieved scores greater than those of human players.
