What happens if you get two bots that don't pass? I think you'll have to manually stop the game. Given the current time systems on KGS, I think absolute time is the best way to keep to a fixed schedule. The bot author can reserve a few minutes for a cleanup-phase -- many reasonable approaches to allocating time have been discussed in the past. Alternative time proposal: Have the overtime use a fast Canadian time (like your 20/20), but limited to something like 5 minutes. This way you get the benefit of a fixed schedule and a short cleanup period. I know KGS doesn't support this, but I think it would be a great option for tournaments, both human and computer. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
