Gomocup Schedule, 6th-8th of June 2025

(under maintenance)

There will be 2 freestyle (20x20) groups (i.e., Freestyle-20 1 and 2), 2 freestyle (15x15) groups (i.e., Freestyle-15 1 and 2), 1 fastgame group (Fastgame), 2 standard groups (i.e., Standard 1 and 2), 1 renju group (Renju), and 1 caro group (Caro) in Gomocup 2025. Elo rating system is used to evaluate AIs' strength. The memory limit is determined to 1GB. Time per move/per match will be 5s/120s for fastgame, 300s/1000s for final leagues (i.e., Freestyle-20 1, Freestyle-15 1, Standard 1, Renju, and Caro), and 30s/180s for the rest (i.e., Freestyle-20 2, Freestyle-15 2, and Standard 2).

AIs were divided into different freestyle and standard groups according to the placement in the last tournament. For Freestyle-20 2, Freestyle-15 2, and Standard 2, the top 4 AIs will move up to the next group (i.e., Freestyle-20 1, Freestyle-15 1, and Standard 1, respectively). If the top k (k>4) places were all taken by new or updated AIs in a group, then all these k AIs would advance to the next group.

In Fastgame, Freestyle-20 2, Freestyle-15 2, and Standard 2, we do not match every pair of AIs. Instead, for old AIs, we only match every pair of them whose last year's Elo difference was no more than 400. We still match each brand new/updated AI with all AIs.

The unlimited tournament, which has no hardware constraints, will not be held this year, as we only received one submission for this league.
