[computer-go] June KGS Computer Go tournament: 19x19, an hour each

[Jacques Basaldúa]

We all think about UCT all day long, ;-) but universal time is called 
UTC. The acronym is far from obvious, because:


"The International Telecommunication Union 
 
wanted Coordinated Universal Time to have a single abbreviation for all 
languages. English  
speakers and French  
speakers each wanted the initials of their respective languages' terms 
to be used internationally: "CUT" for "coordinated universal time" and 
"TUC" for "temps universel coordonné". This resulted in the final 
compromise of using UTC." as I quoted from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

[computer-go] June KGS Computer Go tournament: 19x19, an hour each

[Nick Wedd]

The June 2007 KGS computer Go tournament will be next Sunday, June 3rd, 
in the Asian evening, European morning and American night, starting at 
08:00 UCT (GMT) and ending at about 16:00 UCT (GMT).


It will use full-sized boards, Chinese rules with 7.5 points komi, and 
slow time limits (58 minutes absolute).  Each division will be a 
four-round Swiss. There are details at
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=293 for the Formal division, and 
at http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=294 for the Open.


Registration is now open.  To enter, please read and follow, as usual, 
the instructions at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/how/index.html.  The 
rules are given at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html.


There is a change to the registration procedure.  Instead of sending 
your registration to me at my usual address, please send it (with the 
words "KGS Tournament Registration" in the title as usual) to me at
maproom at gmail dot com (converted to a valid address in the obvious 
way).
It doesn't actually matter on this occasion, and I shall accept 
registrations sent to my usual address.  But I would like everyone to 
start using the gmail address for registrations, so that I will in 
future be able to run these events while away from home.  (I have my 
email system set up so that emails to my usual address are all 
downloaded and spam-filtered on my home machine, and emails to the gmail 
address above are accessible from anywhere via a browser.)
