Aye, it would be bad to enter a tournament with a bot I didn't write.
I was thinking more general. Just for play.

Anyone can run a bot on KGS, the only obstacles are the small amount of technical competence required to get it and kgsGtp running and connected, and the need for an internet-connected platform to run it on. The bot can be one that they have written, downloaded, or stolen, KGS won't know nor care.

Running a _rated_ bot on KGS is another matter. This requires active intervention by an admin, which is unlikely to be granted. While your bot is unrated, it won't be able to play any rated games, and won't acquire a rating.
