If you contact KGS a few weeks in advance, it is possible to broadcast games from important tournaments you are organising on KGS as events. In order to have the games evented on KGS, we request that the following information be available from the accounts used for the relay:

The name and a small description of the event
A link to the tournament website and if possible to the result page
A schedule of the rounds (using the KGS gmt tag)

Once all this information is available, please contact us, providing the names of the relayer's accounts, and we'll be able to announce the event. Then, before each relay, the scribes will have to:

open a demo game in a public room.
add the players names, their ratings, and a game name (That can be done from the game window - click on the "Options" button then select "Rules". You can then fill the "White:", "W. Rank:", "Black:", "B. Rank:" and "Game Name:" fields. Press "OK" to validate.)
contact an online admin to tell him the game is ready, and ask for it to be announced and evented.

If users misbehave in the evented game, you can disable chat by selecting the quiet option with ctrl-m. You can also contact an admin for assistance.
