Field notes
The arena separates attacker and defender ladders and displays Elo, win rate, and rank movement for named bots. Its recap records nightly changes—or their absence—including that no bot was written on night 14 and that one defender had held the top place for 11 nights. Research links cover optimization, persona diversity, and lessons from self-play; the homepage says outside submissions open on 24 October.
