Re: [computer-go] Computer Go Tournament on KGS

["William M. Shubert" <wms@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There will be a human at the tournament (probably both me and Nick). If
two bots disagree, I'll count the score myself and assign a winner. The
bots may even score incorrectly; in non-ranked games (which includes
tournament games) kgsGtp will not argue about living or dead stones even
if the engine says that the score is incorrect. In that case, the server
will keep the "wrong" score, but I can change the winner in the
tournament pairer's opinion as long as the next round hasn't started
yet.
