Last month, I planned to use a time setting for the monthly KGS bot
tournament that had Canadian overtime of 10 moves in 30 seconds. It was
actually set to 25 moves in 30 seconds, causing some entrants to lose on
time. I assumed that I had set it incorrectly, and gave an apology.
Now I find that it was not entirely my fault. I had used the tournament
creation software to set 30/10, as I had intended. It had created an
XML file specifying 30/10. But when I uploaded this to the server, the
server had decided that I meant 30/25.
I found this out by checking the time settings for next week's KGS bot
tournament, which I have just created. I set the Canadian overtime to
30/10, but the server decided to use 30/25. So I deleted the tournament
and created a new one with 1:00/20; and the server decided that I meant
1:00/25. 1:00/25 is not quite what I want, but it's close enough, and I
don't know how to do any better, so that is what we will be using.
