Right now I have resubmissions for DustBot, LiquidAir, and Mushu, and I assume the rest are just going to use their midterm entries...
I also received one more bot, and I think I'm going to include it, with restrictions. The bot name is Tailslide. Its author emailed me and said he just found out about the contest and developed a bot really quick for the final deadline. To be fair to everyone else, I'm going to place tournament restrictions on the bot, although the only restriction I know of for sure right now is that Tailslide cannot be the bot that gets a bye in the first round. I may place another restriction, but it requires a little more work on the tournament brackets and I haven't thought that deeply about it yet.

I will be creating the tournament bracket in a few minutes, so I'll post it in a new topic here.
Unfortunately, I don't think there will be any way to replay the matches this time around. Due to various reasons since I released the last GDArena executable, I have not been able to work on the source code enough to implement a record/playback system.
I'll let you know more about the tournament soon..
