	You are missing GromitChess, and Frank has already replied to your post. Also,
Faile is missing. You can find it at:
http://www.ualberta.ca/~adrien/chessprog.htm
	I think newer versions of some programs may be released before the tournament
ends (especially crafty). Do you plan to replace the old versions when this
happens?
	Use any time control you want, but I personally prefer standard (40 moves in
120 minutes). For the hash table size, contact each author; but I think for
standard time controls the biggest available is best in most cases.
	Good luck in your tournament, I expect very interesting games!
