The protocol used is described as a "modified NNGS" protocol. The paragraph on remote computing seems to suggest that no direct connection between the Internet and the tournament is permitted; that an operator must manually transfer moves from the remote computer to a GUI which is connected to the local network. You'll want to tune your computer to leave a margin for that manual transfer of information.
If I understand the site correctly, remote computing is permitted when the computer is so huge that it cannot be brought to the venue. Excerpt follows: Another way to join the UEC Cup without bringing in a computer is to use the Internet connection for game information exchange. This is used when the computer of a competitor is so huge that he/she cannot bring it to the venue. Because of security purpose, we do not allow to play a game on the Internet. The Internet connection must only be used for communicating between a (possibly delegated) operator in the conference room and a remote computer. The operator then must use some GUI program to play a match. See 2-2 for using GUI program. Anyone who want to use a remote host must submit a written format to the UEC Cup committee at registration, and receive a permission for remote play. 2: Playing a Match 2-1 Playing through Network Games are played over a TCP/IP network. A game managing server will be set up to manage the game. A programs should be able to play games over the network. For the protocols, see Protocols. 2-2 Playing by hand If games over the network are impossible for a program, the competitor can manually input moves through the GUI program the UEC Cup office prepares. In this case, the following conditions will be applied. The operator must input a move designated by the program. If he/she input different moves, the competitor loses the game immediately. The time to input moves is also clocked.
