There have also been a few competitions with other hosts: 2011 German Open in General Game Playing, organized by Peter Kissmann and Tim Federholzner of the University of Bremen. It was held in conjunction with the KI 2011 conference. Winner (Classical track): Ary Winner (GDL-II track): Fluxii The AI'12 General Game Playing Competition, organized by Marc Chee and Michael Thielscher of the University of New South Wales. It was held in conjunction with the AI'12 conference. Winner (Classical track): TurboTurtle Winner (GDL-II track): CadiaPlayer Some GGP courses have associated class tournaments. Notably, the 2013 session of the course on Coursera had its tournament livestreamed on Twitch.

How does one go about entering the championship, and when is entry required by? (indeed what date is the 2014 run to be held on?)

I have searched for, but failed to find, a record of what games were used in the various tournaments. Has anybody here found such a list? Or was anybody here involved in the the tournaments and still have records? I'd be interesting both in knowing what games were played and getting my hands on the GDL.
Thanks,
Andrew

Is there an "amateur" nomination? Competing with groups of people who do this as their main occupation sounds unrealistic...

Steve: The main tournament is announced every year on games.stanford.edu/, so watch that site for tournament announcements. I heard about the other tournaments through the GGP mailing list: mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/general-game-playingAndrew: For the Stanford tournaments, most of the games that have been used are in the Base and Stanford game repositories. The games from the other two tournaments mostly are not, but they are listed (including GDL) on the website of each competition. Lev: It would be a stretch to say that anyone makes an occupation out of this. =) Most of the competitors to date have been academic groups, with a few hobbyists/former students competing more recently; I think the hobbyists have done better on average. (Possibly something to do with being professional software developers.)

So that explains why Alloy, LeJoueur and Fluxplayer are not the best on Tiltyard... But I thought those academic groups dedicated a lot of time to their players?
