it would be nice for machines to be allowed to enter the regular
tournaments as well. :)

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.
