I meant the amount won per zillion hands.

Duplicate matches require memory wipes of all bots in between matches, right? But how do event organizers verify the wipe? Do they inspect the source code of each bot before and after each match? Do they use the honor system?
I think they reload a VM image and the bot software from CD

Interested but have no time. Its other great advantage is that you don't have to hand over your code.

I haven't come across much about it. Most of the research is centred around NE bots and the rating is the win rate.
It's a tricky problem, for sure. Win rate doesn't seem like a good rating for the simple reason that the goal of poker isn't to win a lot of hands, but rather to win the most money. Of course a lot would depend on event structure, i.e., freezeout tournament or ring game? heads-up or multiway? limit or no-limit? ... and so on.

They typically play zillions of hands, duplicate, to get statistically valid results, and even then quote error margins.

Makes sense. Any interest in organizing an alternate competition?
