The numbers in parentheses after each name indicate the placement of their warriors in the ranking table below.

The top three competitors stood well out of the crowd, their warriors occupying all 12 highest spots. As was anticipated, reciprocal forgiving strategies dominated this tournament. The astonishing fact that all the warriors in the final round contained a suicidal component can be explained by the need to minimize the "noise" in the results, which could lead the warriors into a needless circle of revenge.

David Moore's bottom score resulted from accidentally submitting an early, buggy version of his otherwise interesting algorithm. :-(

Warrior rankings

The blank lines separate warriors pushed off in each round. Note that the scores have not been normalized, so comparing them between rounds is meaningless. For details, see the round by round scores and comments.
