Trying New Rumbles

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:LiteRumble

Once they're full I want to try out some different scoring mechanisms - in particular I want to try out my Average Normalised Pairs Percentage. I also want to see what the KNN-PBI looks like for the main rumble. I'm not sure I want to keep a ~900 bot rumble permanently updated - it would eat into the free quota quite a bit. The same with the melee rumble. They are better suited for Darkcanuck's server IMO.

I think it would be more interesting to have a few others, like the PerceptualRumble or TripleDuel/TwinMelee, but I don't want to run any rumbles with more than 100-200 bots on a long term basis. They are just too slow to stabilise, and chances are that the majority of the bots have been abandoned anyways. Perhaps the next step is to write an app that serves the participants list as a FIFO - automatically kicking out old bots as new ones are entered (although not counting versions as new bots).
