F16 DOGFIGHT - man vs machine

Starting on Tuesday 8/18 and lasting for 3 days, 5 AI programs will do battle in a F16 simulator. The last program standing will do battle against a REAL human pilot on 8/20 between 1:30 and 3:30 EST.

To watch the event you MUST register by Monday. Unfortunately at this point only USA citizens can signup to view it. The registration just requires your name, email address, and checking a box that you are a US citizen. If you have a VPN that spits out a US IP you can probably scam it. The registration link is in the 3rd paragraph of the following link.
