The July 2011 KGS computer Go tournament will be on Sunday July 3rd,
starting at 16:00 UTC and ending at 23:40 UTC.
Two points to note:
The komi is 7, so jigo is possible.
I will be away from home from tomorrow midday (12:00 UCT on Friday)
until late (22:00 UCT) on Wednesday. So if you register within a
day of this being posted, I will respond promptly, but if you wait
a few days, I won't respond until Thursday.
It will be a 20-round Swiss with 9x9 boards, 9 minutes each of main
time, and Canadian Overtime of 10 moves in 30 seconds. It will use
Chinese rules with 7 points komi. There are details at
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=595 .
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

to a valid address by using "@" and ".").
