4th GPW Cup will be held on Nov 12 and 13 as a night event of the 15th Game Programming Workshop (http://sig-gi.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/gpw/, in Japanese) in Hakone, Japan.
CAUTION: The venue has no access to the Internet. There will be 9x9 and 13x13 computer Go tounaments in parallel. I'd like to recommend one operator for each. Human players can participate as well. 9x9: Chinese rules, sucide is prohibited, no superko, komi is 7 and DRAWS ARE ALLOWED. 13x13: Chinese rules, sucide is prohibited, no superko, komi is 7.5. 2, 1 and 0 for win, draw and loss will be given, respectively. Time settings will be set immediately before the tournaments according to the number of participants to prefer round-robin but standard settings are 10 min for 9x9 and 20 min for 13x13. Swiss system will be used if there will be too many participans for round-robin. IMPORTANT: I'd like to introduce a hardware limit this year because, (1) to prevent power failure at the venue and (2) to help the bagages of the travellers lighter. The guidline is one core x86 at 2 GHz laptops (1.7 GHz for desktops). Using one core of a multicore processor for each tournament is allowed. For other proessors, I'll decide on demand. NB: This limit is not serious :). There will an NNGS server be prepared at the venue so that you will be free during the games if your program supports NNGS protocol, like the Olympiad Kanazawa. IMPORTANT: You have to prepare, however, your network cable by yourself. No pre-registration is necessary but I would appreciate mailing me with the subject "4th GPW Cup registration". <mailto:[email protected]> Hideki -- Hideki Kato <mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
