Good question. I'm participating and I don't even know this for sure.
I think it's open hardware, i.e. bring along the best what you can find.

Are there going to be 4 world champions again? (multi,single,amateur,blitz)

Or more? What about:

Multiprocessor world champion
Single processor world champion
Amateur multiprocessor world champion
Amateur single processor world champion
Multiprocessor blitz world champion
Single processor blitz world champion
Multiprocessor amateur blitz world champion
Single processor amateur blitz world champion

There! 8 titles :)

The major tournaments that I know of are:

1) ICSVN Tournament (in Leiden, Netherlands)
2) Paderborn tournament (in Paderborn, Germany)
3) Open Dutch Computerchess Championship (in Leiden, Netherlands)
4) World Championship (like last year, Maastricht, Netherlands)

There is no major tournament in the states.

(Which makes me think: 'then why are they all complaning the
WCCC should move over there if there is so little interest')
