Something that has worked well in other games would be to change the third CGOS every month. Each month, the parameters would be announced and the CGOS started empty except for the anchor(s). At the end of the month, the bot at the top?would be?the winner. That would allow us to experiment with novel settings like 11x11 boards or 20 seconds per game that might be interesting for a short while but maybe not for long. It can be a way of keeping things fresh and leveling the playing field a little.
It also would need a lot more maintenance ... IMHO there would not much to be learned from (eg) 11x11. I think of CGOS as a testing arena, not a monthly tournament to find the best program at some arbitrary setting.
