What are the rules for putting bots on kgs?

Re: [computer-go] KGS connection
The way I understand it, you must have permission from the program authors for either division. And only one version of a given program can compete in the formal division.

Re: [computer-go] KGS connection
To put a bot on KGS for general play, you simply need to set up a login ID and have kgsGtp use it.

Re: [computer-go] KGS connection
Aye, it would be bad to enter a tournament with a bot I didn't write. I was thinking more general. Just for play. Thanks and good luck in the tourney :) -Josh On Nov 9, 2007 9:54 AM, Chris Fant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was referring to the KGS bot tournaments.

Re: [computer-go] KGS connection
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Joshua Shriver [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Aye, it would be bad to enter a tournament with a bot I didn't write. I was thinking more general. Just for play. Anyone can run a bot on KGS, the only obstacles are the small amount of technical competence required to get it and kgsGtp running and connected, and the need for an internet-connected platform to run it on. The bot can be one that they have written, downloaded, or stolen, KGS won't know nor care. Running a _rated_ bot on KGS is another matter. This requires active intervention by an admin, which is unlikely to be granted. While your bot is unrated, it won't be able to play any rated games, and won't acquire a rating.

I've submitted e-mail requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and gotten no response. Back in the cgoban2 days, I was granted a rated status for my bot with the explicit warning that it could be lost if the bot screwed up the scoring at the end of the game. I don't know if they review the bot's past performance on KGS as part of their consideration. ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
