[computer-go] KGS Computer Go tournaments

[Nick Wedd]

Three points:

1.)
I am now back at home, and ready to accept registrations for the March 
bot tournament, see below.

2.)
In the February tournament, Mango's registration email took over 40 
minutes to reach me, and it missed the deadline for the Formal division. 
I have once recently had an email take over three weeks to reach me. So, 
I urge you to register sooner rather than later.  Also, I shall try to 
connect to KGS at least ten minutes in advance of events starting, so as 
to be able to check for missed entrants.

3.)
I am considering postponing the April KGS bot tournament from Sunday 
April 8th (Easter Sunday) to Sunday April 15th.  Will this inconvenience 
anyone?
