During a tournament you want to give each program the full resources of the 
machine,
in case one wants to think on the opponent's time.  Also, if you require 
the programs
to run on the same machine, what if they require different operating
systems (like Windows and Linux).  What if someone wants to bring a faster
machine to the tournament?

I think a tournament should not restrict the computer or OS of the 
participants.  This
means one computer per program, and connection by TCP/IP or serial port.  Many
tournament organizers have talked about a new protocol, and some kind of
controller, but no one has done it yet.
