There may be some confusion about what a tournament is. Some guy running a bunch of programs against each other is not a tournament in the sense that you mean, but it might be in the sense that Fernando means. If you're running a bunch of programs that you own against each other in your basement, no big deal. But it's a matter of making an application to be in a tournament open to authors only, such as an ICCA tournament or a national championship or the IPCC (yearly Paderborn tournament), then these things should be totally banned. bruce
