There are a number of important updates regarding the Computer Go
tournament next week at the US Go Congress in Portland, OR.
First, timing: due to unforeseen circumstances, we won't be able to
start the tournament (or get into the lab) until Monday, August 4. I
plan to open the lab at 9:00 AM, allow an hour for setup, fitting
SlugGo through the door, etc., then start the first round at 10:00.
There MAY also be some media present to talk with all of you; the
match later in the week pitting MoGo on a supercomputer vs an 8-dan
professional looks like it might draw some attention.
Second, participants. Here's my current list:
Program Primary Author Notes
SlugGo David Doshay As the author is involved in organizing the
tournament,

have your software and know how to run it!
Please let me know immediately if there are any changes to the list of

Finally, I need to know the KGS USERNAME each of your programs will be
using.
Here's hoping for a good tournament!
