The bot tournament will be this Sunday.
I shall not have internet access for most of Saturday. So I hope that
if you are planning to enter, you will do so in the next nine hours.
Late entries (up to three minutes before play starts) will be accepted
but may cause problems.
I currently have unofficial entries from GNU Go 'PNUGo', Fuego 'PueGo',
and MoGo 'CzechBot'. These are all willing to step down if official
entries from those programs are received.

In an earlier posting mis-titled "November KGS bot tournament" I wrote
The December 2009 KGS computer Go tournament will be Sunday December
6th, in the Asian night, European evening, and American morning,
that should have been "Asian evening, European morning, and American
night"
starting at 08:00 UTC/GMT and ending at 12:00 UTC/GMT.
There will only be one division. It will be a 12-round Swiss with 9x9
boards, 9 minutes each of main time, and a fast "Canadian Overtime", of
25 moves in 30 seconds. It will use Chinese rules with 7.5 points
komi. There are details at http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=488.
Registration is now open. 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. Your bot need not
be strong to enter, indeed weak and new bots are particularly welcome.
Please send your registration email (with the words "KGS Tournament
Registration" in the title) to me at maproom at gmail dot com
(converted to a valid address in the obvious way).
I will soon leave for a short holiday, and return by Wednesday December
2nd. I may not have internet access while on holiday - so don't worry
if you try to register and get no response. You should get a response
by some time on Wednesday.
Nick
