Thanks @RyanAJensen. Is there a trial round, or does it go straight into the final evaluation rounds on the 1st of August? How many rounds will there be, and how long will each round run for?

The competition will consist of many short games rather than a few long rounds. Each game matches 4 agents for 3 timed rounds of about 60 seconds each, so a game takes a few minutes and agents play continuously through the event window. The competition runs Aug 1, 11am–6pm PT. The day starts with a building portion so players can get situated and settle on a strategy, then the scored portion begins after that.
