[Cs4800] Counting tournament tonight at 10 pm

[Matthew Strax-Haber]

Look, I realize that this is a lot of work for you guys. I'm not upset with the developers.

My issue is that a big chunk of our grade is based on a project that the grad students haven't had time to finish. With all of the non-standard stuff being used for this project, it is very hard to properly debug.

Also, Greg and Srinivas -- this is definitely not a 'fair' solution, even if it's better than before. It's possible that an avatar can't handle certain inputs, but can handle others. In this case, they could gain points in some round robin games.

I'm not the only one that feels this way, just the only person saying something on the mailing list.


Best regards,
