Antichess ROBOT

#2
This is not a feasible championship because:
1. You have to have some filter on what bots are allowed to participate, because most bots run on the same engine, and hence are equal in strength. It is also a proven fact that fairy stockfish is the strongest bot, so all participants might ending up using the same engine and there wouldn't be the point of a competition.
2. It will be impossible to find such high sponsors for "bot" tournaments, especially one where people cannot participate.
3. There are only about 4-5 "real" engines for Antichess, and other bots only use different versions of those engines. There are also a lot of bots which play thematically, and hence they would have no point in participating here.
There is no point in having a world championship between 4-5 bots.

Take a look on lichess.org/team/darkonteams it makes daily BOT tournaments and you can see the engines that doesn't sacrifice them self are all running the same engine.
What would stop them from doing here the same thing?

That team organises arenas for Chess. In chess, there are lots of developers making their own engines which have comparable strength.

However, nobody is making their own engines in Antichess (except two three engines, but those developers haven't made anything after that), and hence all bots which play Antichess basically boil down to a core of 4-5 engines.

Since nobody has said anything here in a week, should I assume that this plan is scrapped?
