In my 3 visits to the Cotsen Open, I had only 2 people decline to play against my program. One traveled from a remote location so he felt that his travel budget was better spent doing something he could not do online from home, and the other was a parent of a child who simply rejected the idea completely. The child wanted to play against the program, and did so later after the official games.
At this time games played against bots do not have any effect upon your AGA ranking. The problem from the perspective of the guy who was in charge of the AGA ranking system is that there is no uniform way of giving a program its rating. He is completely against using KGS ratings because on the internet people can hide behind fake names and can game their ratings in various ways.
