This notebook shows how to build a basic tournament and view the results.

import axelrod as axl
import random
%matplotlib inline

In [41]:

strategies = [s() for s in axl.basic_strategies]
strategies.append(axl.Random())
tournament = axl.Tournament(strategies)
results = tournament.play()

In [42]:

results.ranked_names
