<div class="title">What is Pokerbots?</div>
<div class="text">6.9630, or MIT Pokerbots, is a computerized poker tournament. Teams have one month to program a completely autonomous pokerbot which competes against other bots in a unique poker variant.</div>
<div class="text">Competitors must learn and apply concepts in mathematics, computer science, and economics not normally developed together in academic settings in order to conquer their opponents and emerge victorious.</div>
<div class="text">Last year's competition featured over $50,000 in prizes and attention from the most prestigious quantitative trading and technology firms. This IAP, channel your programming ability and strategic quantitative thinking skills to become the reigning Pokerbots champion!</div>

<div class="ui three column stackable grid">
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<h2>Why Poker?</h2>
<p>As a game of incomplete information and uncertainty, poker is a prime application of the game theory concepts and decision making skills essential to trading. While traders make risk decisions based on the limited information they get from the markets, poker players make decisions based on hidden information as well, taking into account factors such as expected value and probability distributions.</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>I thought this was a programming competition? What language is it in?</h2>
<p>It is! To build a working pokerbot only requires both critical thinking ability and an eagerness to learn. However, an understanding of machine learning, algorithms, and data science can go a long way towards creating an advanced pokerbot. Competitiors can code in their choice of Python, Java, or C++.</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>Machine learning? Algorithms? Exactly how much coding experience is necessary?</h2>
<p>We welcome students with all levels of programming experience. Nevertheless, some previous coding experience would certainly be helpful. Although not necessary, we recommend you have at least one team member with some programming experience.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<h2>What form of poker will it be?</h2>
<p>We are keeping the game and tournament structure secret. You will hear all about it during the challenge unveiling in early January 2024.</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>How many members can make up a team?</h2>
<p>Teams may be composed of 1-4 students.</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>How do I receive course credit?</h2>
<p>You will need to submit functioning pokerbots for various checkpoints throughout the course, as well as a short strategy report at the end of IAP.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<h2>Do I have to be an MIT student to participate?</h2>
<p>For our course and tournament in January, you must be able to register for MIT IAP classes. If you are cross-registering, bring your papers in on the first day of class for us to sign. At least one member of your team must have MIT certificates to access our competition server.</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>How do I register?</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSctdw7p7LndGljvPxZQjn2oQubsMJlVtzOdP-JoWwkixRX0ZQ/viewform?usp=sf_link" style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration:underline">Here</a>!</p>
<h2>Do I have to be on campus?</h2>
<p>Nope! Our lectures are recorded on Zoom and posted online. In addition, all submissions can be done online and we have virtual office hours and Piazza</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>How much time will it take to make a pokerbot?</h2>
<p>Creating a functioning pokerbot takes no time at all. However, creating a competitive and strategic pokerbot will require more effort and experimentation. Ultimately, the more you put into your pokerbot, the more value you will receive from the class!</p>
