[Cs5500] [Cs4800] Warmup Tournament - 10pm tonight

[Madhuvanthi Balasubramanian]

Dennis,

1.This is not how a kick-out message looks like. Kick-out messages have a
short description of why you are kicked out and never print a stacktrace.
This is an exception thrown from the createResponse method.
2. ParseException generally occurs when your response is given to demeterf
to be parsed, and it is not able to successfully parse your response.
Demeterf knows the signature of a perfect response and that is how it would
try to fit the responses we send in. If any of its fields is not right, it
throws such exceptions.
3. In the past, when we had encountered parsing errors, we had tried
modifying our code, because there is no way we could go change a demeterf
library. The error was almost always on our side.

Yes, we do encounter parse exceptions, but not this one from the
createResponse method. Let me forward your mail to my entire class and see
if someone else has seen a similar issue.
