[computer-go] January KGS online computer Go Tournament

Why 7.5 points komi on a 9x9 board? The consensus at http://senseis.xmp.net/?HandicapForSmallerBoardSizes seems to be that 5.5 points komi would be fair on a 9x9 board.

The January 2007 KGS computer Go tournament will be next Sunday, January 
7th, in the European evening and American morning, starting at 17:00 UTC 
and ending at about 23:00 UTC.

The Formal division will be six-round Swiss, and use 9x9 boards with 28 
minutes sudden death, Chinese rules, and 7.5 points komi.  The Open 
division will be four-round Swiss, and use 13x13 boards with 43 minutes 
sudden death, Chinese rules, and 7.5 points komi. There are details at 
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=262 and at
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=263.

Clean-up at the end of the game is now supported. If your bot does not 
support clean-up, it risks losing won games to a bot that does support 
it.  To avoid this, you should either arrange for your bot to support 
clean-up, or for it to capture all dead enemy stones before it passes.

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