I would like to strongly suggest that enough rounds be run that

This seems like a good idea, but I have two concerns:
1) Can the KGS tournament system support this? Nick, Bill?
2) If we get, say, a dozen programs, each program will have to play
22 games, right? That's conceivably 44 hours.
I was at first mystified by David Fotland's comment that "A round
robin can get many more rounds in the same time." Are you pointing
out that, if programs resign, other rounds can begin? Do a lot of the
KGS monthly tournament games end in resignation with a lot of time
left on the clock? Monte Carlo players tend to use almost all of
their time.
Perhaps I should say something like, "Time permitting, we will run a
double round-robin tournament."
As set, the schedule does not have breaks for meals, and I think
that for the health and happiness of the programmers, such breaks
would be a good idea. I know that 3 days in a row without a proper
dinner break will be very hard on my stomach.
For what it's worth, the current schedule has dinner from 5:30-7:00.
