I updated Zen's count in the tab for that in the spreadsheet. It should be OK to deal now:

Heads up: The gray cells in the shoe are those past the cut card. That's how we know when to redeal, and there are only a couple of deals from the shoe left. I was planning on switching to blue backs when the new shoe is shuffled.

That basically looks good to me. The fact that I forgot to cross off an eight means that Zen thinks he has erroneously seen one less eight than it actually has, but the error shouldn't affect the way it bets.

Looking good so far

Oh, and even though none of the bots are programmed to consider previous bots' actions, technically the action also starts with the first bidder, not always with Minimalist Bot. Minor detail that might matter next time

Edited to add:

You've been doing it right, though

I'm not sure what I was thinking, though the first hand co-modded with you started with the same player as the first hand of the tournament.

After Hand 18, if you could message all four players alerting them to the end of the elimination hand and CC'ing me, please

Got it.

Not too hell-bent on any particular day myself.

I had an inkling that, after Minimalist Bot was eliminated, ND would be the next to go. Its flat-betting the minimum meant it was a risk-averse bot, so if a bot could maintain a decent profit (as Zen and more recently Siri have), ND was at a positional disadvantage. I don't feel like I should be surprised that ND went out in the middle of the pack.

I think there are enough cards left in the current shoe to last the rest of the tournament but I just grayed out the cards after the cut card.

Yes, show the hole card on a no-play.

You're good, though I will probably provide my comments after the final hand. The point of getting a co-mod was really to ensure the game's completion after all the work burned me out.

Good by me, and thanks again
