• If a bot with a higher winning percentage loses to a bot with a lower winning percentage, then the winning bot gets bonus points and the losing bot loses penalty points (exact value is the difference between the two bots' winning percentages, times 2.5). Winning percentages for this formula are weighted with 5 extra wins and 5 extra losses, so new bots are not unfairly rewarded or penalized. The effect of this is that a bot that upsets a significantly better bot would get about 2 points, whereas the losing, favorite bot would lose about 2 points. |

• A bot that has fought fewer than 10 matches is charged 10 "rookie" points. This means that a new bot that has never fought before starts at -10 points. For every match it fights, it loses a rookie point; so a bot that has fought 5 matches is only charged 5 rookie points. This means that new bots will start at the bottom of the table, and older bots with records at or below .500 will be at the middle of the table. |
