The main reason to have is to avoid that someone enters who has
no (or almost no) experience with bot play and later starts complaining
(or steps back silently) when the tournament does not run well.

"10 games against strong bots within 30 days" would be one possible condition;
it might also be okay to ask instead for 5 games within the last 90 days.

PS: By "strong bot" I mean not only Zen and CrazyStone, but also Pachi,
Aya, ManyFaces, GinseiIgo, Steenvreter, Gomorra ...
