World Poker Robot Championship
Overview / Rules
(Drafted by: Darse Billings, Jonathan Schaeffer, Aaron Davidson, Kurt Lange, and the WPRC organizers and participants)
Poker is a game of both luck and skill. Skill will win out in the long run, but luck plays a significant role over the short term. The World Poker Robot Championship (WPRC) tournament structure has been designed to keep the competition fun and exciting, while also giving the best programs a chance to show their stuff.
There will be eight sessions of play, each lasting about four hours, or as long as necessary to determine a winner. Each session is a complete tournament, with players being eliminated continuously until one player has won all of the chips, and the round. The lowest finishers in the first four rounds will be relegated to a "last-chance" pool, and will have one last chance to show that they deserve to compete for the grand prize.
The three best (or luckiest!) programs will advance to the grand final on the third day. The winner of that tournament will be declared the Golden Palace.net World Poker Robot Champion, and will be awarded the grand prize of $100,000.
The newly crowned WPRC Champion will play an exhibition tournament match against the University of Alberta, for bragging rights to computer poker-playing supremacy.
Finally, the champion of the heads-up tournament match between the WPRC Champion and the University of Alberta will then play a heads-up Man vs. Machine tournament match against poker pro, Phil Laak.
