How to avoid the quick BOTS draws in Team battles?

My problem is, the most of the bot's creators are not really active, and wont change their bot just for this tournament, then we will lose a lot of bots, and how would you disqualify them?

Good question. No-one has came up with a solution to actually be able to automatically join a tournament (an idea is to access the #BotTournaments section of the Lichess discord, which may be possible since Discord has an API), so devs manually have to join tournaments. They usually just target the most common ones, like Human-Bot league, or as I do, just join some teams and join the BOT tourney's the team provides. The easiest way to make a BOT (and what most people use) is BotLi, the most basic template of the BOT that can be found is @torombot , which you can fork and run through Github Actions. In the file where you can configure all the settings (config.yml) you can configure what variants it accepts (there is also a tournament mode where you can join with a tournament ID). Therefore, you can just leave ALL variants on, and it will just play those in the tournament, so the only work the developers would have to do is essentially just run it, and from time-to-time use the join tournament feature to join tourneys in advance, requiring no additional configuration. Losing bots is a risk we have to take; I'm sure many honest BOT-creators will happily accepts these new terms, since it's more fun for everyone! Hope this helps!

Either start with 0.7+ from position or no choice.
There is something called chessdb all games openings are stored in opening explorer as well.
This time even my bots or others used book.

Creating bots is easy but most people makes it weak.
This result in:-
i> Slow game
ii> Anyway lose ths game
which is time waste
