1# AAMAS Author Response

3Use this after AAMAS preliminary reviews are released. Reopen the current OpenReview
4instructions and the rebuttal-window rules before drafting; response mechanics are
5cycle-specific and AAMAS reviews and decisions become public afterward.

7## Triage
8 
9- Answer only what can move the decision: correctness of the game model or proofs, the reality
10  of the interaction claim, baseline/opponent fairness, reproducibility, and scope.
11- Use evidence already in the submission: sections, appendices, the supplement, theorem
12  statements, learning curves, and opponent-set definitions. AAMAS rebuttals do not add new
13  results and typically do not upload a revised paper.
14- Keep the reply anonymous: no institution, no named system, no private URLs or repository
15  owners.
16- Correct outright factual errors first, then address requests for missing comparisons,
17  ablations, equilibrium analysis, or seeds.

222. Point to the exact submitted evidence (section, figure, appendix, or theorem number).
233. Explain the strategic or empirical consequence for the reviewer's concern.
244. Promise a camera-ready wording fix only if it adds no unsupported new claim.

28AAMAS pools game theorists, MARL researchers, and systems-minded reviewers on one paper, so a
29single rebuttal often answers three different lenses at once.
