Hello everybody, in the German Go scene an experimental team league will start next week. Here are the most important parts of the rules:
"Freestyle" means that a team may use any sort of help: hardware and software, human expertise, books, ... Teams may even use Go bots in autonomous mode. Play is on KGS, in "Deutsches Eck". Each team only has to give the name of the team leader (and the name of its KGS accounts). Team leaders are NOT asked to reveal their team structures. Team matches are played at two boards. Komi = 7.0 and Japanese rules. Thinking times 60 minutes base time plus Byoyomi with 15 stones in 5 minutes. Seven teams have registered. For some teams the KGS account names are known already: 1. Klaus Petri (Darmstadt) - Name: DeepGreen 2. Sebastian Heuchler (Paderborn) - Name: Oktgopus Oktgopus1 Oktgopus2 3. Birger Holtermann (Karlsruhe) - Name: Karlsruher Allerlei botornot meandmybot 4.
