When the results page pops up at the end of an express tourney, would it be a good idea to separately display the average score of the robots so we can judge their performance? Only include hands where the robot sat in the seat from start to finish not hands where they substitute partway through.

There can only be 3 robots that play throughout a tournament, so there is not any real benefit from showing their scores.

But since robots are, by definition, identical, how many play, how many hands they play, or what hands they play should be irrelevant (although their scores should be weighted or combined to give only one average percentage for each board).
I don't see how their score would matter to results in a free tournament, particularly where 90% of the players have no idea how to properly play 2/1, but I suppose it might be of interest to the curious.
