It's about time we have something other than code golf! KOTH time!

A small simple game to get things started.

Rules/Procedure

Everyone starts each bracket with 100 in-game points. In each round of the bracket, you play against an opponent. The only information you are given is your opponent's ID number and how many in-game points they have. (And all other information you have stored up to that point.) You and your opponent each spend a number of in-game points - higher number wins, and moves on in the bracket. In case of a tie, a random bot moves on. You gain a number of scoring points for each win inversely proportional to the number of people left in the bracket.

100,000 (maybe 1 million) brackets will be played - the bot with the highest amount of scoring points wins.

The game is written in Java. You can find the engine, a bot template, and a sample bot here.

Questions

• Any other information I should be giving each bot?

• Anything unclear about the rules?

• Is this game actually interesting to play?
