It will be a 5-round Swiss with 19x19 boards.
Your bot need not be strong to enter, indeed weak and new bots are
particularly welcome.

I think that this should be encouraged only for fast 9x9 tournaments
with many rounds.
For only 5 rounds, the final result will be largely determined by the
pairing algorithm
if there are very weak bots. Of course we can't forbid very weak bots,
but for only 5 rounds
they should be explicitly discouraged (except one for parity if
necessary).

You are right. I left that line in by mistake. It is not my intention to allow IdiotBot and WeakBot50k to play in this event (unless they are needed to get the numbers up to six).

As well as pachi, PueGo, PNUGo, and CzechBot have already registered. These will be removed if "official" versions of Fuego, GNU Go, and MoGo register.
