[Nick Wedd]

The January 2011 KGS computer Go tournament will be next Sunday (January 
8th), starting at 16:00 UTC and ending at midnight UTC.

It will be an 8-round Swiss with 19x19 boards, 29 minutes each of main 
time, and Canadian Overtime of 25 moves in 60 seconds.  It will use 
Chinese rules with 7.5 points komi. There are details at
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=555 . The overtime setting is 
intended to avoid losses on time through netlag.

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 . Your bot need not 
be strong to enter, indeed weak and new bots are particularly welcome.

Please send your registration email (with the words "KGS Tournament 
Registration" in the title) to me at maproom at gmail dot com (converted 
to a valid address by using "@" and ".").
