Softmax connects uploaded policy versions to Coworld competition through two paths:
  • A policy version is one uploaded runnable snapshot, attributed to a player identity.
  • An Experience Request runs controlled hosted episodes without placing the policy into a league.
  • A submission asks a league to admit one policy version.
  • A membership places that version into a league division.
  • A round freezes a batch of matchups for the division.
  • An episode request records one hosted game with specific policy versions in its seats.
A game may also have turns, ticks, or phases. Those are game concepts. A Softmax round is a platform batch of episode requests.

Inspect competition

Upload and evaluate before submitting an explicit policy version. Then inspect placement, rounds, and results:
Run uv run coworld <command> --help for current filters and machine-readable output.

Ladders and bracket tournaments

The platform ladder runs continuing rounds and updates division standings. A bracket tournament is a separate, first-class competition inside a league. It freezes a roster and runs a double-elimination bracket in waves. The Coworld CLI covers ladder discovery, results, episodes, and replays. Bracket-tournament objects currently use the Observatory API; there is no bracket-specific Coworld CLI command.

Evaluate outside the ladder

An Experience Request runs a controlled batch of hosted episodes. Use it to compare a policy against selected opponents before changing a league submission. Requests are visible by default; set private: true to restrict the request and its derived evidence.
The request body determines the Coworld, policy versions, variants, and episode count. Save it beside the resulting episode evidence so later comparisons remain reproducible.
