BATTLESPERBOT setting

We're (finally) getting our internet sorted tomorrow so I should be able to start running more battles again soon. Is there any reason I shouldn't set BATTLESPERBOT to something higher to get some of the newer melee bots caught up a bit?

Surely you can set this variable as large as possible, since most bots already had way more battles than this value. And there could be a pull request to robocode to change the default settings.

That's what I figured but I didn't want to be the person who screwed up the results and forced them to be recalculated from scratch so figured I'd check with those who know better than I do. Looks to me like a default of 100k wouldn't be unreasonable for melee. Not sure about duels, maybe 30k?

I think the best is to dynamically adjsut the value based on current battles per bot, e.g. 80% * pct1 of battles per bot. In the meanwhile, you can safely set this value lower than the second lowest battle counts.
