The American Go Association allows computer entrants. 

I found the following in the AGA tournament guide:


C. Computer entry. Computers may enter tournaments under certain conditions: 1. Only the inventor of the hardware/program or his/her designated agent may enter the computer (hereafter, either inventor or agent are called the operator.); 

2. The computer must correctly handle any move legal for it or its opponent to make andmust not make any illegal moves; 

3. Both computer and operator must be AGA members;
4. The operator must play computer moves on a regular board and "punch the clock" for the computer;
5. The operator may enter or adjust playing parameters before a round begins, but not during a round;
6. The computer's clock must be left ticking if the operator must fix hardware or software problems.
7. The operator may offer to resign on the computer's behalf.
D. Classes of computer participation. There are three classes of computer tournament participation. Tournament publicity should indicate what class a tournament is ahead of time; if not announced, the tournament is automatically class B. The TD should also announce the class of tournament before first round pairings.
1. Class A: no computer entrants allowed. 

2. Class B: computers allowed, but humans have the right to refuse computer opponents.
Humans wishing to do so must notify the TD before first round pairings.
3. Class C: computers allowed; humans may not refuse computer opponents.
