[Computer-go] Computer Olympiad: Go schedule and registration cost for multiple tournaments

[Erik van der Werf]

I don't like it!  So not only did they raise the price from 25 to 40
euro *, but now they even want to charge triple for 3 inferior
mini-tournaments!

In my opinion a one day 13x13 tournament really shouldn't be priced
the same as a full-scale 5-day event (e.g., such as in chess). I don't
mind some diversity in board size, but it's all still the same game.
With this pricing scheme I'd prefer to strike 9x9 and 13x13, and just
spend 5 days on 19x19 Go.

And btw what's up with those 'fresh' amateurs??? The distinction used
to be quite clear: if you had no direct or indirect commercial
interests then you were an amateur. I haven't participated in recent
years, does that make me fresh again? or do I still stink because I
went to Beijing? Perhaps some deodorant will do the trick...

One full registration has to be paid, plus 40 Euros for each additional tournament, regardless of category (see details in the registration form).
