it would be nice for machines to be allowed to enter the regular

Sometimes, they are. See

Zen came second in both of these; pachi also did well.
The decision here will probably be with KGS admin 'sweety'.
Most regular tournaments on KGS are open only to paying customers, i.e.
"KGS+" subscribers. So an issue is likely to be - do these paying
customers want bots playing in their tournaments?
or, if that's too hard to organize, to allow people to enter some of
the machine tournaments. ;)
I can consider that. How would I select the human players? I can't let
people join without restriction, that might produce many more human
players than bots, and undermine a major source of KGS revenue. Though
I guess the tough schedule, close to eight hours of solid play, would be
a deterrent.
