Yes, single elimination, so only the top spot is reliable. The Crazy
Stone upset definitely changed the character of the final match.
Here are the main brackets (again, any mistakes are my own):
KCC Igo + Aya
Many Faces + boon
Zen + Kerberos
Erica + Kinoa Igo
Katsunari + rock
Kiseki + nomitan
Shikousakugo + GOGATAKI
Galileo + Crazy Stone
KCC Igo + Many Faces
Zen + Erica
Katsunari + Kiseki
Shikousakugo + Galileo
KCC Igo + Zen
Katsunari + Shikousakugo
KCC Igo + Katsunari
KCC Igo has apparently retooled their engine to keep up with the
latest Monte Carlo techniques. They were ready to compete last spring,
but were denied entry to the Computer Olympiad. It is rumored that Go+
+ is being overhauled; I look forward to seeing it compete again after
a seven year hiatus.

I think it was a single elimination, not a swiss tournament, and I
think many of the strong programs were in the same bracket. I think
Many Faces lost to KCC in an early round and wasn’t paired against
the other strong programs. We’ll have to wait for the full results
to check.

Wow! This is quite surprising to me:

There are so many programs stronger than Zen,
ManyFaces, CrazyStone and Aya ?
There was, as sometimes in the past,
a trouble with the communication time or something like that, or there
are really so many very strong bots now ?

Short random comments:
Aya was unlucky, lost two games against Erica and KCC. Erica gets
much stronger by implementing Remi's larger patterns; lost two
games by a communication trouble and waisting time by a sleeping
laptop. Zen vs. KCC was a close game. Zen uses 512 cores.
