Elo rating + league + bots

Numsgil:
Not sure if this is stupid or not, but I wanted to record this idea before I forget.

Instead of the current system (or in addition to) for handling bots, we could implement an elo rating system or one of the related rating systems.  The primary advantage being that we can assign a numeric score (eg: 1837) to a bot.

Ammeh:
sounds like a good idea. The only problem I see is that it gives advantage to combat bots. Most of my bots just try and survive while reproducing, very rarely attacking. That would give them a low score, but they often massively out do combat bots (usually by hogging all the food, but w/e )

Shasta:
I would be for adding something like Elo. It gives the ability to see just how much of a difference there is between what would be ranked first versus second and so on.

I think Numsgil was talking about for the leagues.

Yeah, that's the thinking.  It would also mean I could compare different versions of Darwinbots.  If I add a new feature, and all existing bots change dramatically in rating, I can take that in to consideration.

Yes, it would be for league matches.  So a species gets a win for winning one round.

It also means we could probably run fewer league matches to get a good ranking.  I'd probably not replace the current league system, but it would be a good system to have in addition to normal leagues.  Certainly when you're working on a bot and you want to see how much stronger your bot is with a certain feature.

ou could make a last man standing tournament using an expanded version of the elo system:
