icca tournaments are fun contests ? i thought it is about world computer
chess champion title too.

>So, what are the goals?  That should determine the conduct during the contest.

to measure the strength of the program, not to measure the influence of a bug
or to find out about older versions.

the tournament is not an experiment made to reproduce data. its made for me
to find out about the engines by watching them. i do  believe that experiments
do not measure the things outside as they are, but measure the things you wanted
to measure before.

you want to catch reality by doing circumstances that do not exist in real
tournaments ?
