My two cents:

1) I think that the final map set should not be published. This makes the contest a real AI contest (no hardcoded solutions). When you design a system you usually need a test set and a validation set, so it should be the same here.

2) I also think that it would be a good idea to run a simpler tiny contest before the real one, with pairings consistent with the position on the leaderboard, in order to make it possible for all of us to improve our bots (I haven't done any important improvement of my bot during the past two or three days because I really don't know what is its behaviour against top bots).

general, this game is no man, any player can force a draw.
but it is difficult to create a program which for any other card is doing it.
for fixed map set not so hard.
map set is key condition.

Just assume random map, with the python program "genmap". You can test just about anything on it. I have a feeling at least a subset of the maps will be based upon that program.
