Sorry that I missed it. Will look forward to next month.

Edit: I put my normal 4 bots back up.

Hello,

Could be a good idea to post next online tourney announcement in the "Tournament and Match section", or even on "General topic"

Well, historically it is posted here, because it started mainly as an appeal to engine authors. (Although other participants are of course welcome.) So this is the place where people have come to expect it. Problem with posting in the general section is that the post usually disapears from the front page within about 12 hours, so it would go mostly unnoticed.

Yes I understand but try to do so and I am sure more Authors and Operators will be aware and will be able to save the date.

Perhaps there should be a sticky 'Calender' thread in the General section reserved for just this purpose?

Good idea ! What does the moderators think ?

two things:

1) how about a calendar forum instead of a calendar thread.
2) You had a typo in your advertisement. You said 3 am instead of 3 pm. 3am EST != 21:00 CET.
