I'd like our company to sponsor a Computer Go tournament for its 10th 
anniversary (in fall 2004). It it happens it would be for GTP engines, 
and would also be broadcasted on a server, possibly with a live video 
stream, if anyone cares.

Any advice about rules, the setup? What is needed to make a tournament 
big? No entrance fee and prize money?

Thanks for your input,
