As far as I know, he doesn't have an account on the ICC.  Its possible that I
can let him connect and run it during that weekend, I haven't asked him of that
possiblity.  In any event, I am not just an operator, I am running Yace versions
that the author sends me and would be entered into the ICC CCT for the author.

It would be a shame if Yace can't play though, since I think it could do quite
well in the event.
