Dear 2D Community! [Same text will be shared in Discord as well!]
TL&DR;
We analyzed the log files of major competitions during past years and
found a degradation of the reliability of the hardware setup and its
computational power provided to the teams. In particular, we observed
that - starting in 2022 - many teams' players did frequently miss to
send a command within 100ms.
If you have any questions or remarks on this, please share them.
Best regards,
Thomas Gabel (on behalf of the FRA-UNIted team).
=====FULL EXPLANATION=====
~~Assumptions~~
We assume that all teams do, in general, send at least one command to
the soccer server each time step. By commands we refer to their (A)
body-related commands (dash, kick, turn, catch, tackle) and their (B)
other-parts-related commands (attentionto, turn_neck, say, change_view,
pointto). It is standing to reason to assume that each player sends at
least one of those commands to the server each time step.
Moreover, most teams do indeed send one of the body-related commands
(dash, kick, turn, catch, tackle) to the server each time step.
~~Definitions~~
If some agent does not send a command in one time step at all (neither
from category (A) nor from category (B)), then usually something is
wrong. In accordance to Ralf Berger from the first Soccer Simulation 2D
Champion team ever (AT-Humboldt'97) we call this situation a HOLE.
If some agent sends in one time step t more than one command, then
usually something is very wrong (e.g. two dashes, or a dash and a turn).
It usually means that this agent did not manage to send the first of the
two commands within the 100ms of the previous time step t-1, i.e. it is
being sent one step too late. Simultaneously, the agent sends the
command of the current time step t. Thus, the server receives the
command from the previous *and* the current time step in the same cycle.
In accordance to Ralf Berger from the first Soccer Simulation 2D
Champion team ever (AT-Humboldt'97) we call this situation a BLACK HOLE.
~~History~~
Holes and black holes are bad things for any agent. They used to be a
big issue in the early days of soccer simulation 2D, when computational
resources were scarce (e.g. the 12 processes of one team had to be run
on just one or two single-core PC) as well as when the network
connections needed for exchanging messages via UDP were not as reliable
as they are today. While we believed that holes and black holes are a
problem of another decade and they occur only very rarely or due to
programming errors by some team nowadays, we observed their systematic
return in competitions of the last and current year where, as far as we
can tell, for the first times tournaments were run on 12 docker
instances for each team and one for the rcssserver (in total 25 docker
instances) entirely on one single machine (which, of course, is equipped
with a sufficient amount of cores, e.g. 64 cores).
~~Methodology~~
We took the log files from the 2019, 2021 and 2022 world championships
plus the very recent IranOpen 2023 tournament and analyzed the rcl files
for the occurrence of holes and black holes. Our analysis tool and
script are available on request.
~~Findings~~
In RoboCup 2019, there were no problems across all teams (with the
exception of Ri-One which we think to be due to a team-internal
problem). And a minor issue for YuShan2019 (with, however, less than 1
black hole in the course of two matches).

Some teams (e.g. Austras or Persepolis) seem to refrain from sending a
command in each time step, producing what we call a hole. Each team must
decide for itself whether this is intended, or acceptable, or bad
behavior (so we assume that this large amount of holes is fine for the
two team mentioned).
Anyways, black holes are always most likely a bad thing for any team. If
we count the total number of black holes for RoboCup 2021, we see that
there was just a single black hole in the entire tournament (by HELIOS2021).
Unfortunately, things changed in RoboCup 2022 where, for the first time,
a docker-based environment was used. Unfortunately, the entirety of logs
for that year can no longer be found on archive.robocup.info which is
why our analysis focuses only on the fraction of logs that we downloaded
during the tournament:

Hades2D, 32, 59, 7, 1.84375, 0.21875
The summed number of black wholes has been increased to 557 in the
entire tournament - a number which is certainly far beyond anything that
is acceptable. Apparently, all teams were affected where YuShan2022 was
affected most with almost 7 black holes per game on average.
As a safety check, we ran our analysis also on a big part of the log
files produced by the recent IranOpen 2023 tournament which was also
held in a docker-based environment with each agent/coach running in its
own docker instance, all on the same single machine.

football-iauk, 9, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0
EMPEROR, 7, 46, 14, 6.571429, 2.0
This time, some teams where affected even more severely, e.g. Mrl or
Robo2D each with nearly 20 black holes per match on average. The
negative impact on our own team was nearly the same in RoboCup 2022 and
IranOpen 2023 with ca. 4.5 black holes per match.
Of course, one might argue that the prevention of black holes is in the
responsibility of each team itself. However, we strongly belief that the
wide re-occurrence of black holes from 2022 onward points to some
inherent problem with the way the simulation environment has been set up
recently.
As an additional safety check (for our team, FRA-UNIted, only), we also
ran a large amount of matches with our team against various opponents on
standard PCs (without docker or other virtualizations) using exactly the
same version as we employed recently in the IranOpen 2023 tournament. We
observed no black hole at all.
~~Details~~
Our analysis reveals that often the entire simulation seems to be
"frozen" for one time step or for time steps that are near to one
another. We can only speculate about the reasons; one such speculation
would be that other docker environments (of another match that is
running in parallel on the same machine) are initialized at match
start-up/clean-up and this increases the overall system load for a few
seconds.
Please, see the detail analysis of the exemplary match between RoboC2
and YuShan2023 during the recent IranOpen 2023 tournament in which these
teams were affected by 51 and 32 black holes, respectively. All these
black holes occur between time steps 600 and 800. In some time steps
many players are affected simultaneously (see below: Appendix).
~~Conclusion~~
The hardware, virtualization, and software setup for upcoming
tournaments must be very critically questioned in order to allow for
fair competitions.
