The Qualification for the RWBC 5th edition will start
October 17/18th.
The OpenClass will start November 1st/2nd.
Every new program/version is welcome to RWBC. (including privates too)
The deadline for new programs/versions to be included in the Qualification
will be October 15th.(No updates allowed during Qualification!)
The deadline for new programs/versions to be included in the OpenClass
will be October 24th.
(Free updates are allowed anyway along the first 3 rounds of the OpenClass)
Note that the Qualification is not needed for programs which are
_without any doubt_ stronger (and stable enough!) than the
5 Qualification opponents!
Those are for this cycle: 
Kanguruh
Zotron
NewRival
Imp
Cecir
Important: (new rule)
The deadline for the OpenClass is also the deadline for being(still) allowed
to start with two programs per author. If none of both programs
is younger than 6 months, the older double entry will be deleted!
A deleted double entry will not return to RWBC!
Concerned for edition 5 right now:
Fauce       (->Chiron too old)
Tamerlane   (->Madeleine too old)
DrChess     (->MrChess too old)
Holmes      (->BlackBishop too old) 
Ladygambit  (->LordKing too old)
For rules and specs etc. please look at the RWBC site,
or just drop me a mail to: r w b c @ g m x . d e (without spaces)
(There is also a FAQ for possible new participants)
