Credability don't only come from programmer involvement, it also somes from the arrangements made. Suggest challengers? who else is there but Deep's Shredder, Junior and Fritz.

I am sure once the event is set all the information you seek on openness and conditions, tournament parameters and results will be given for all to see.
