I think this game is a bit different from most, in that quite often the tweaking
and tuning will consist of actually playing a game against an opponent.  Usually
human.

With that in mind, I'm sure when they're not playing against another robot, most
would want to run/test against a person.  That may be the best way to run tests
between matches.

The possible downside is that an entry may be in the middle of a robot/person
match, when it's his turn for a robot/robot match.
