computer-go: 21st Century Cup Update

[Bob Myers <rtm@xxxxxxx>]

Many of you have already heard about the 21st Century Cup. This is the
largest prize in the history of North American computer go competitions,
totalling some USD 15K, to be awarded to top finishers at the computer go
competition at the US Go Congress in Pennsylvania in late July. More
information is available at
http://www.intelligentgo.org/21cc2001/announcement.html.

The registration process and other details are still being worked on. I
will announce here and elsewhere when they are ready. Meanwhile, please be
assured that the competition is definitely happening. Tentative plans are
to hold the competition during the first few days of the Congress as in the
past (possibly July 22-23).

We expect high participation.  That means we need a strong team to help
organize the competition.  In particular, we are looking for volunteers to
act as:

1. Tournament Director
2. Facilities Coordinator (space and machines)
3. PR Contact (local print and broadcast media)

If you are interested, please contact me directly at rtm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks.
