The second game I found where both bots believed they had lost was a game that went to the full 60 minutes. The cause is not the same as the frame timeout issue.

The official results have 22 games that went the full hour and had to be adjudicated on points. (Click the “duration” column twice to sort the longest games first.) In most cases, I’m not able to check whether both bots recorded the result correctly, because I can only check bots that have history files and the files are complete. All but a few of the hour-long games have a participant whose recorded value I can’t check.

But I did find several games where the official winner recorded that it had lost. Initial indications are that if the game runs the full hour, both bots are told that they lost, at least sometimes. I only watched one of the long replays, and in that game the official results were correct and winner WillyT believed it had lost to Stardust. At the end of the hour, WillyT’s tanks were clearing protoss bases against no resistance, but had not quite finished the job.

I’ll check a little more tomorrow and inform Dave Churchill.
