Indeed! That's part of the motivation of organizing the tournament at
the US Go Congress.
and at the European Go Congress.
An event in which each bot plays each other bot twice or less tells us
little about their relative strengths, CGOS does a much better job of
that. Rather, these "official" tournaments serve two main purposes:
they draw the attention of ordinary Go players, and, we hope, of the
media; and they provide opportunities for programmers to meet
face-to-face, discuss ideas, and exchange gossip.
Perhaps we (or the subset of us within a given country) could just pick
an existing conference (something on machine learning or games) and all
go there...
My impression is that in Japan, there are conferences like that.
