Strange, What version of the Banksia GUI do you have? I have a time margin setting in Banksia.

It says "Margin per move", never heard of that. But I never tried Banksia.

Dio made this post before I sent the following picture to him
The problem was (and still is): Margin 0,0 (default): 16 time losses in a match of 100 games Margin 1,0 (1000ms): 18 (!!) time losses ~~~~~ Margin 2,0 (2000ms): NO time losses~~~~~
Time control was 4'+2"

Welcome Rebel 16.1 I played a game with the latest Rebel against Crafty. I’d like to report one bug and one critical question. 1. Bug report In the Fritz 17 GUI the engine doesn’t report its evaluation anymore but rather „ : :“ . As other engines still work as usual this is clearly due to whatever Rebel 16.1 does differently than other engines.
2. Time management I wonder whether anyone has checked the engine with really long time controls. In the following game Rebel uses half of its time by move 10 and 75% of its time by move 20. This can’t be optimal IMHO. 3. The game itself The game itself was pretty nice and interesting, so no complaints about the play itself, to the contrary.

Guys, 16.1 is the latest version. Rank 21 with lots of losses …. The best version you refer was rebel16 with noomen book and NO permanent brain while all other programs HAD permanent brain.
So normally one would expect that a later version with permanent brain should score above rebel16 without pb.
IMO the time control needs a bug fix.
The tiny machine has 8 cores and each Engine gets 4. So IMO 40 moves in 4 minutes should be possible if you get 4 cores.

I am litte disapointed by Stockfish 15. its not leading on none of my pcs.
Ok in opposite to dragon or lc0 (costs graphics cards money) that cost money, Stockfish costs nothing. But i do not really see a progress with Stockfish on my machines.
My machines are: Amd 16 core
Amd 8 core and 2x amd 6 core.
The hardware used is the small asus 8 core machine in front of my dedicated chess computers. It runs with solar energy from the balcony. So the tournament is 100% CO2 neutral.

your stuff is definitely being weird. SF should perform around the same as drag 3.1. and Drag MCTS 2.5 should be much lower. the issue is probably from having perm brain on all, ccrl doesn't use ponder for it's regular testing in blitz so I don't think sf performs bad there. but still, I've run sf on 1T and 4mb hash vs dragon with 2048 and 3 threads and they tend to perform similar

What we normally are used to see are the results of engines that are about the same elo pool.
This tournament is different, many weak or weaker engines. It can easily be the case Dragon is the better killer of weaker engines.

In any normal competition, as in real life, you have not a selected elo pool. You have a big variety in elo and differences. No matter if you talk about soccer league or any other competition.
The best have to play against newcomers and weaker teams. And often a noname can kill a top team.
If you only relate or match same elo pool you get an incest situation that shows an increase of elo that is de facto not true.
Take e.g. computer chess championship 1986 cologne where ed schroeders rebel engine had to play mainframes and was successfully doing it.
Following your elo pool logic machines like the dedicated machines should not compete mainframes because you expect them to be to weak.
But how do you measure how the big ones score against weaker engines if you do not run games ?!

UPDATE
We are still alive in case you start to wonder
REBEL - 1. We are fixing the last bugs. 2. We added polyglot book support. 3. We added a playing style option. 4. All testing is done with a time margin of 500ms per game. It's quite possible our engines can do without. 5. There will be no playing strength update.
CSTAL - 1. Of course all of the above 4 points. 2. We are building a total new and stronger net for CSTAL
