The purpose of docking and virtual screening competitions is to evaluate methods, and to help the field of virtual screening advance. Virtual screening is a challenging and important problem. The current state of the art is that there are many programs, each with strengths and weaknesses. Although numerous published attempts to compare docking programs have appeared, there is still considerable scope for skepticism about way in which these evaluations were carried out.
