In some of the results I've sent to submitters, I noticed a bug/unclarity
in instructions:  if both programs terminated (reached end of code) the 
interpreter was counting that under "if you don't otherwise lose, you win" 
rule (resulting in double win) rather than the "time out" rule (both lose).
  
Rather than calling that an AI discovering "the only way to win is not to
play", I'm calling that a time-out loss.

In results I've sent so far, it has very little effect on rankings, as 
those double terminations were mainly happening in matchups between pairs 
of my more incompetent starting jousters.
