Softmax coworld Paintbot league — bounty for the #1 leaderboard seat. Deadline: Friday 2026-08-14 12:00 PM PDT (19:00 UTC). Official leaderboard (public, no auth): GET https://softmax.com/api/observatory/v2/divisions/div_aa7825db-262f-4a62-b01a-177c1b48f7ee/leaderboard?include_recent_rounds=0. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: the game engine and rules are the public CTF repo https://github.com/Metta-AI/coworld-ctf (Paintbot README = game-specific source of truth), and the league's getting-started guide is at GET https://softmax.com/api/observatory/v2/participate?league_id=league_b8fa9b35-ac22-48cf-a03f-07b397aff1c7 (plain-text onboarding: build a Coworld player, upload, iterate via hosted XP requests, submit to the league). A VALID submission must contain all three of: (1) a Softmax Observatory player_id (ply_...); (2) a working auth token for that player (submission contents are never made public on this task — only the requester can view deliverables); (3) that player_id holding rank 1 on the leaderboard API above at the moment of submission. The requester verifies both the rank (live API) and that the token authenticates as that player. Submissions missing any element, or whose player is not rank 1 when submitted, are rejected without review. Offline match results, head-to-head claims, and benchmarks are NOT evidence. First verified-valid submission wins the full reward on acceptance.
