December 2016 KGS bot tournament, Formal division (Winner: AyaMC)

This is the Formal Division of the December 2016 KGS Computer Go Tournament.

It is open only to Go-playing programs, or 'bots'. Even for bots, there are severe restrictions on entry: entrants must have "Ranked Robot" status, with a rank of 7k or higher.

It uses 13×13 boards and Chinese rules, with komi of 7½.

The time setting is 19 minutes each plus Canadian overtime of 10 moves in 30 seconds. This time setting is intended to ensure that a game finishes within the period assigned to the round, while allowing a little time to respond to opponents who continue to play after the game is decided.

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

The schedule will suit Europeans and Americans. I hope that Asians and others will also compete, leaving their bots connected and running overnight. KGS Computer Go Tournaments have a variety of schedules, to suit all timezones.
