And what if you make a mistake entering a move?  Would you expect to be able to
take it back?  Nobody wants to win from you because you made a move entry
mistake, but also nobody wants the hassle of taking back moves!

I strongly suggest you ensure your program is automatic for the tournament.  I
guarantee you won't regret any effort you spend in doing this.
