Hello fellow Go enthusiasts,
Just a quick reminder -- free ratings tournament tomorrow, March 1!
Register 10am-10:45, and the first round (of three) begins at 11am. If
you're already familiar with this recurring event, then feel free to skip
the rest; but we've had an influx of new faces recently, for whose benefit
I now paste the full details.
Seattle Go Center Monthly Ratings Tournament
This is a great way to play some intense face-to-face Go! Three rounds,
Japanese rules, 45 minutes per player plus byo-yomi (overtime). You do not
have play all 3 rounds (just inform the Tournament Director of your
plans).
There's no tournament entry fee, though the Go Center membership policies
apply: younger than 18 free, first 10 visits free; otherwise, $5 for
one-day membership
(see http://www.seattlego.org/membership
for other options). And you need to be a current AGA member -- visit
https://www.usgo.org/members to
join or renew. You can join / renew in person at the Go Center, but please
come early to do that.
Registration is from 10:00 - 10:45 sharp, and the first round starts at
11:00. If you're running late, you can call 206-545-1424 to register (clock
starts at 11:10 whether you're there or not; and you forfeit if you're not
there by 11:30). If you come before 12:30 and register, you will probably
be able to play in the second round, which starts by 1:30 (but may start
sooner).
- Registration: 10:00-10:45 AM.
- First round starts: 11:00 AM.
- Lunch: People usually eat when they finish the first round. There are
food options nearby, but we recommend that you bring lunch to the Go Center
rather than going out for food.
- Second round starts: Generally by 1:30 PM, but may be earlier,
depending on when the first round ends.
- Last round ends: Usually by 5:30 PM, approximately.
