Pokerbots
About the Event: Test your algorithmic trading and game theory skills in Pokerbots, a high-stakes algorithmic bot competition! Teams must code an autonomous Python bot to compete in a custom poker variant designed with modified Texas Hold’em mechanics to prevent the use of public repositories. Technical & Runtime Constraints: Environment: Python 3.11. Allowed Libraries: Standard Python libraries, NumPy , and SciPy only (no pip installations allowed at runtime) . Compute Limits: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, read-only filesystem, and zero network access . Time Bank: Cumulative time bank per match (~60 seconds for 400 hands) with a hard wall-clock kill. Crashes or exhausted time banks result in match forfeiture. Communication Protocol: Bots operate automatically via a predefined stdin/stdout protocol.

Stage 1 (Swiss Qualifier): Valid bots play 6 rounds of ~200 duplicate deals (400 hands). Match points: 1 for Win, 0.5 for Draw, 0 for Loss . Stage 2 (Top 32 Finals): The top 32 qualifying teams advance to a full round-robin stage (~500 duplicate deals each). Scores reset prior to this stage. Tie-Breakers: Calculated using a capped chips per hand formula. Rules & Regulations: Team Size: Teams must co…
