There seem to be other modes having to do with estimated kyu level and game pairing. I guess we need to ignore those for the tournament? Cheers, David On 18, Dec 2006, at 1:00 AM, William M.

Re: [computer-go] Slow KGS computer Go Tournament
William, One question - My opponent in the first round somehow got disconnected. A few minutes later botnoid was kicked from the game. What would happen if my opponent came back? Would botnoid automatically rejoin the game or would it now be botnoid that would lose on time? There was a feeling that this might not be handled correctly so I played it safe by writing a script to observe the log file and disconnect/reconnect if it was kicked due to an absent tournament opponent. - Don On Mon, 2006-12-18 at 01:00 -0800, William M.
