When was it announced anywhere that this was open to multiprocessor machines?
Who was the first potential competitor to find out about it, and when did they
find out about it?

This event is getting really painful.  It is always in Europe.  There is always
a short time between when the accepted applicant list is posted and the time of
the tournament, so the plane flight is expensive.  There is no travel support
for anyone going to Europe, although when the tournament is outside Europe the
plane ticket is free.  The rules change some rules aren't enforced.  Even the
name of the event has changed.

What if I had bought a computer for this last week?  Suddenly I get there and
I'm not competitive because I assumed, with a month left, that it was a
single-processor event.

I haven't even applied to go yet.  It sounds too awful to contemplate.

Thank you,

bruce
