I doubt we can conclude a lot about the value of TDLeaf from this competition.
Even if TDLeaf is better than hand tuning, you might still win the match because
other parts of your program is superior.

I don't think TDLeaf could improve a good hand tuned program by more than 50-100
points tops, probably less (if any at all of course), so the training method
will be just one small factor in the equation.

IMHO, if you want to test TDLeaf, you should try it on a program like Crafty :)
