Summary of results of all World Computer Go competitions:

The Ing competition takes place every November, with a prize of 
NT$200,000 (about US$8,000) for first place.  The top program gets to 
play a match against people at a handicap, for prizes from NT$150,000
(about US$6,000) to NT$40,000,000 (about US$1.6 Million).

The Computer Olympiads were world competitions in a variety of computer
games, including Go.

The FOST competition takes place every August in Japan, with a prize
of 1,000,000 Yen (about US$8,000) for first place.

Rating (R) is a weighted average of results, with each year weighted 2/3 of
the year after it.  For years where a program did not participate, results
are interpolated.  A program that has not participated recently is penalized
one rank per major tournament or two ranks per year from its most recent
result.  Years before a program started to participate are set to the 
average of its results while it was playing.
