683 comparisons among 91 agents.
| Description | Annual Computer Poker Competition, heads-up events of 2010, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017: 683 matches between 91 named bot entries, each a complete head-to-head result in milli big blinds per hand with the half-width of its 95% confidence interval (`mbb_per_hand`, `ci95`). score_a is that figure and score_b its negation, so the pair sums to zero as in the source. `game` separates heads-up limit from heads-up no-limit and `year` the competition. Built from the competition's own archived results pages rather than the 20 GB third-party repack of 620M hands on Zenodo: a crosstable cell already IS the match-level record the comps standard wants, and it carries an interval that summing the logs would have had to compute. The archived pages also cover 2010 and 2016, which the Zenodo repack does not. THREE-PLAYER EVENTS ARE EXCLUDED and are a third of the archived files: a three-handed crosstable is indexed by pairs of opponents, so a cell has three contestants and cannot be written as agent_a against agent_b. No homefield column, and here that is a property of the competition rather than a null result -- the ACPC plays duplicate poker, replaying every match with the hands swapped between seats precisely so that card luck and position cancel, so there is no side to hold an advantage. No date either: the sources carry a year, which is its own column. Do not read the winner marginal (agent_a wins 479 of 683): a pair is written in the order its crosstable lists the two agents and crosstables are ordered by finishing rank, so agent_a is usually the stronger bot. Agent names are kept exactly as printed, including the tbr/iro division suffix, and are NOT reconciled across years, so 91 names cover fewer real entrants. ci95 is blank on the 101 rows from 2017, whose source is a JSON of results with no intervals; every other row has one. |

Or load it directly in R (no account needed with irw 1.4.0 or later) or Python (needs a free Redivis account; the first call opens a browser to sign in):
# R
install.packages("irw")
library(irw)
df <- irw_fetch("acpc_poker_2010_2017", source = "comp")
# Python
pip install irw
import irw
df = irw.fetch("acpc_poker_2010_2017", source="comp")
Or in Stata, which reads the same no-account CSV as the button above:
