[computer-go] Computer Go tournaments - various

[Nick Wedd]

FUTURE TOURNAMENTS

I learned today about the UEC Cup ( http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/eng/ ), 
a major Computer Go event that is now less than a week away.  I wish I 
had known about it sooner, I would have listed it at
http://www.computer-go.info/events/future.html, and maybe rescheduled 
this Sunday's KGS bot tournament.

How do people find out about these things?  I am not aware that the UEC 
Cup has been mentioned on this mailing list.


PAST TOURNAMENTS

I have also failed to find any reports of results from two less 
important computer Go events which were scheduled for early this month: 
the Hakone tournament (a side-event to the 12th Game Programming 
Workshop in Kanagawa), and the Cotsen Open, a human tournament which 
also advertised a Computer Go side-event.  Does anyone have any results 
from these events?


FAST & SLOW KGS TOURNAMENTS

Three weeks ago, I proposed running on KGS a slow bot tournament (12 
hours per player per game) and a fast bot tournament (no more than five 
minutes per player per game).  As there was no response, I shall not be 
running these.  I will run either next year if I hear of any interest.
