I like this proposal. I hope you also continue the annual championship. That should boost participation. These tournaments are a tremendous boon to the computer go community, and I'm really happy you are continuing them.
I prefer the January tournament to be 19x19, because otherwise I have to spend a lot of time this week working on a 9x9 book. I'd prefer to have more time to develop and test a book before the next 9x9 tournament.
