[Seattle Go Center] Looking for Volunteers for upcoming Events (Orca Con/Mochi Tsuki/Shoreline Library Workshop)

Hey Go players,

As we move in to the holiday season and start a new year, we have lots of events coming up, and we need volunteers to help out with them.

The first event coming up soon is Orca Con. This is a boardgame convention hosted January 9th-11th (Friday-Sunday) at DoubleTree Sea-Tac, Washington State (18740 International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98188). This is a less intense event so I'm looking for 1-3 volunteers to help Heath run the table throughout out the day. If you are interested please email with which day you wish to volunteer for. You can also check out more information about the event at https://www.orcacon.org/

The second event is a new event, Mochi Tsuki. This is a festival in Bainbridge Island and is on January 10th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will be hosting a room teaching attendants the game of Go. This looks to be a smaller event but I am looking for 2-4 volunteers to help put our best foot forward on this one. It is also on an island so I am looking for volunteers that can help with set up and be there for the whole event. You can also check out more information about the event at https://bijac.org/event/mochi-tsuki-2025/

Lastly we are hosting another workshop at the Shoreline Library (345 NE 175th Street Shoreline, WA) on January 25, 3:30-5:30pm. This is another smaller event, though it's our first time trying it on a Sunday. I am looking for 2-4 volunteers to help teach people that are new to the game and just watch over games.

Thanks for your help and lets start this year with our best foot forward

Hello, Go Players,
 
We are glad to announce that on Dec 13th and 14th, we will host the fourth annual AGA WA State Championship.  There will be an Open Tournament for strong, qualifying attendees (all even games to determine the state champion) and a Handicap Ratings Tournament.  There will be 5 rounds -- two rounds Saturday and three rounds Sunday.  SGC will order pizza for attendees' lunch convenience, and the cost is $15 per person per day (for 4 slices of a cheese or pepperoni large pie cut into 10 slices).
 
The top scoring player in the Open Tournament who has lived in Washington state for six months or more will win the 2025 Washington State Championship title and trophy.
 
The top scoring players in the Open Tournament that are employable in the United States win the championship prize money -- $300 for top score, $150 for second top score, and $75 for third top score.
 
Handicap Tournament cash prizes and youth prizes depend on registrations.
 
You must have a current AGA membership.  Please renew ahead of time to make registration easier and to make starting on time possible.  Go to AGA membership join/update page to check your membership status, renew, or join.  Parents, you must make sure your kids are valid members.  If someone cannot become an AGA member before the first round of pairing, you cannot play because we submit all game records to the AGA.
 
Tournament Details:
* Registration time: December 13th, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
* Saturday First Round Starts: December 13th, 10:30 AM (second round around 2:00pm)

* Time Controls: 45 mins main time with 5 byo-yomi periods of 30 seconds.
* Tie-Breaker: SOS (sum of opponent scores), SODOS (sum of defeated opponents' scores), and lastly a tie-breaking game
 
This event is sponsored by the AGA State Championship fund, the AGA Tournament Support Program, and the Seattle AGA Chapter. Big thanks to the AGA for their support.
