CEGT Freestyle

After having already so many games with the best engines, we have decided to give all freedom for testers in CEGT concerning tournament modes and engines they want to include. They just have to be in the pool of engines we already have plus new ones that are added with combined efforts as fast as possible with this long timecontrol. My personal aim is to include new releases with many hundred games over a few weeks in CEGT.

  New testers welcome. Contact : hvankempen@web.de

  Nachdem wir bereits so viele Partien mit den besten Engines gespielt haben, wurde beschlossen allen CEGT Testern freie Hand zu lassen mit Turniermodi und Wahl der Engines. Sie müssen nur einfach aus dem pool sein, den wir schon haben. Neue werden auf Absprache hinzugefügt. Natürlich wird weiterhin nur mit den CEGT üblichen Zeitkontrollen gespielt.

  Neue Tester sind jederzeit herzlich willkommen. Kontakt: hvankempen@web.de

New tournaments with CEGT time control:

CEGT City Grand Prix (Uschi + Heinz)

This is a nice new tournament idea from Uschi. There will be a Grand Prix over at least 10 cities starting in Vienna.

In Vienna there will first be a double round knockout tournament with all 32 CEGT engines. After the first round the tournament will be divided.

The sixteen winners of the first round from the  knockout tournament will continue over 4 rounds with eighth final, quarterfinal, semifinal and final.

The sixteen that lost the first round will continue in a 9 round swiss.

The eight engines losing the first round of the split knockout tournament will be demoted to the 9 round Swiss in the next city (Rome), the first eight of the 9 round Swiss will promote to the knockout tournament in Rome. And so on with the next cities.

Engines from the Knockout tournament will win Grand Prix points as follows:

winner of the final: GP 20 points

loser of the final: GP 16 points

semifinalists: GP 12 points

quarter finalists GP 8 points

eighth finalists: GP 4 points

Engines from the 9 round swiss can win Grand Prix or Swiss points:

rank 1: 8 GP points + 16 Swiss points

rank 2: 7 GP points + 15 Swiss points

.........

rank 8: 1 GP point + 9 Swiss points

rank 9: 8 Swiss points

rank 10: 7 Swiss points

..........

rank 16: 1 Swiss point

Overall winner of the Grand Prix will be the engine with most Grand Prix points. In case of equal Grand Prix points the engine will be ranked better with more Swiss points.
