Append after the sentence in the rule “Ending a Bout” that reads “When a Bout has Ended, the Announcer posts an entry to the blog summarising the events of the Bout and its Winner” the following sentence:
The Announcer also, in this entry, posts the BotScript of the Winner’s Bot.

Trapdoorspyder:
Why would this be necessary? This feels more like forcing people to give away trade secrets rather than actually benefitting the game as a whole. While I understand maybe in case there’s an ambiguity during the match, but if that’s the case, why not force both participants to reveal their scripts? This feels a little off.

I’m with Trapdoor on this one, the bot script can make or break a bout, and having the winning one be available publicly available defeats the purpose of the bout, to test not only your knowledge of mechanics but also of “programing”
Brendan: he/him
I’m interested in Josh’s apparent bid to make the leaders in the victory race a little more vulnerable, I just like this idea better than the proposal to allow total loss of LED Screen tracking.
