Why truncate to [-50..50] ?
Assume that the event attracts some reasonably good programs, and
some poor programs.
For games between good programs, the winning margin will almost
always be in the range [-50..50], so truncation makes no difference.
For games between good players and poor players, the range will
often be outside this range; but exactly how far outside will be
determined by the blunders of the weak program, not by the skill
of the strong one. So it is better not to attach weight to the
margins of these unbalanced games.
Whether a bot loses to CrazyStone by 10 points or 20 tells us more
about its skill than whether it beats break by 100 points or 200.

Fellow Go enthusiasts,
I would like you invite you to:
Kaś Cup - a peculiar computer Go tournament.
There will be prize pool of total 100$, yay!
It will take place on 5th of August on KGS.
The peculiarity will come from the scoring method.
While this will be a Round Robin, the score for each game won't be +-1 point,
but the exact result of the game truncated to the [-50 .. 50] interval.
One last rule is that participants may not use more than 4 cores of CPU power.
Nick kindly agreed to organize and look after the tournament for which
I am grateful.
Also he is in charge of choosing a ruleset and time settings.
Thank you and let us know if you will participate.
Łukasz
