I looked up the tournment rules as Bob Hyatt had mentioned that an author had to
be present when entering a program in the WCCC-99. Bruce had asked this to be
confirmed so I am presenting the relevant tournament rules here:
Tournament Rules
Paderborn, Germany
14-20 June 1999
The Board of ICCA
Below the Board of ICCA provides information on the tournament rules and a
provisional tournament schedule. For convenience, the times of the Advances in
Computer Chess 9 Conference are included in the provisional schedule too.
1.Each entry is a computing system and one or more humans who programmed it.
At least one of the program developers must attend the championship to operate
the program. At least 50% of the entering developers, and all developers
attending the event, must be ICCA members in good standing. No exceptions will
be made to this rule.
2.Each program must be the original work of the entering developers. Programs
derived from, or including, chess-playing code written by others (for example,
programs based on CRAFTY), must name all other authors, or the source of such
code, in their application details. Programs which are discovered to be close
derivatives of others (e.g., by playing nearly all moves the same), may be
declared invalid by the Tournament Director, after seeking expert advice. For
this purpose, a listing of all chess-related programs running on the system must
be available on demand to the Tournament Director.
