In response to determining each of the first plurality of tournament participants have been evaluated the system can determine a first one or more winners of the tournament and determine whether a first quantity of the first one or more winners is above a predefined threshold. In response to determining the first quantity is above a predefined threshold, the system can determine a second generation of a second plurality of candidate solutions, the second plurality of candidate solutions based, at least in part, on the first one or more winners.
