Hog Strategy Contest Rules

• The Hog strategy contest is completely optional!
• The contest may be entered individually or in pairs. Two people submit a single entry. Each person in the course can only be associated with at most one entry.
• The score for an entry is the number of times that entry has an expected win rate of at least 50% against another entry. All entries will be compared against one another.
• The secondary score is the sum of win rates against every other entry.
• An entry is a winner if its score is at least as high as any other score, or if its secondary score is at least as high as any other.
• Constraints:
  • All strategies must be deterministic, pure functions of the current player scores! Non-deterministic strategies will be disqualified.
  • A strategy should be self-contained, not requiring pre-computated data. (You may use helper functions, however.)
  • We will impose a reasonable time limit on the computation of your strategy.
  We will use our best judgment in determining whether or not a submission violates these constraints. If you are unsure if something is allowed, ask!
• All winning entries will receive 2 points of extra credit.
• Winners will also be recognized in future iterations of 61A.
• Submission: Submit a file hog.py that defines a function called final_strategy, as proj1contest, by Friday 2/22 @ 11:59pm.
