If you are entered in a tournament, please make sure that you have read the KGS tournament guide.
This is the August 2011 KGS Computer Go Tournament.
It is open only to Go-playing programs, known as 'bots'. Even for bots, there are some restrictions on entry.
It uses 9×9 boards, and Chinese rules, with komi of 7 – this is an integer, allowing jigo, and is not standard.
The time setting is 4 minutes each plus Canadian overtime of 10 moves in 30 seconds. This is intended to ensure that a game finishes within the period assigned to the round, while allowing for opponents who play on after the game is decided.
To enter, please read and follow the instructions at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/how/index.html
The rules are given at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html
The schedule should be convenient for Asians and Europeans. I hope that Americans and others will also compete, leaving their bots connected and running overnight. KGS Computer Go Tournaments have a variety of schedules, to suit all timezones.
Swiss style, Simultaneous Schedule.
There is no prize.
