Bots playing a counting game

Question

Introduction

A childhood game designed to help children learn to count in french in Canadian schools is played as follows:

• Students go around the room counting up to 11
• A number greater than 11 cannot be said
• A student can say either 1, 2, or 3 numbers
• If a student says the number 11 then they are removed from the next round and play begins again at 1
• The game continues until there is 1 player remaining

Consider the simple example:

Player1 | Player2
01      |
02      |
03      |
        | 04
        | 05
        | 06
07      |
08      |
        | 09
10      |
        | 11
Player 1 wins

The rules

• Design a program which takes in an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 99 (for formatting reasons) and outputs the game played by this number of bots
• Play will begin with bot1 and increase to the highest number bot
• Play will cycle back to the beginning when the final bot is reached
• Bots will randomly output the next 1, 2, or 3 numbers UNLESS
  • Outputting 2 or 3 numbers will cause them to lose on that turn.
    • If the count is 8 when it reaches a bot, it should only decide between 9 and 10
  • Outputting 2 or 3 numbers will cause them to go over 11
• Output numbers and bot numbers should be formatted to take two characters (i.e. you can format numbers to be 01, _1, or whitespace, whatever makes you happy)
• Each column should be 2 characters wide separated by | as well as a | at the beginning and ends of rows
• Once a bot is out the remainder of their column should be filled by xx
• When there is only one bot remaining he is the winner
• The program will announce which bot was the winner in the form of Bot #N is the winner
• This is code-golf so shortest byte count wins

|11|  |xx|
Bot #2 is the winner

Option

The outputs can get long so you are permitted to output only the final number of the bots turn for example the above output becomes instead:

|01|02|03|
|03|  |  |
|  |04|  |
|  |  |06|
|07|  |  |
|  |10|  |
|  |  |11|
|03|  |xx|
|  |05|xx|
|06|  |xx|
|  |07|xx|
|08|  |xx|
|  |10|xx|
|11|  |xx|
Bot #2 is the winner

With 5 bots:

|01|02|03|04|05|
|01|  |  |  |  |
|  |04|  |  |  |

Bots are 0 indexed.

Following will do 1-indexed for+2 bytes

f(n){int i,j,p[99]={},m,k,x;for(i=j=k=0;k<n;printf("|%02d",++k));for(puts("|"),m=n;x=i>7?10-i:3,i=x?clock()%x-~i:0,m>1;){for(k=~0;++k<n;printf(p[k]?"|xx":k-j?"|  ":"|%02d",i?i:11));puts("|"),!i&&m--*p[j]++;do j++,j%=n;while(p[j]);}printf("Bot #%d is the winner",j+1);}
