Games and tournaments are no longer played and old replays are no longer available, as this website was migrated to a new owner and host lacking sufficient resources to run them. The website still works though, including bot downloads, registration and bot submission. If you add your bot here, it will automatically start playing on BASIL within a day or so.

What is SSCAIT?
