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)
* Sunday Third Round Starts: December 14th, 10:30 AM (fourth around around 1:30pm, fifth round around 3:30pm)
* Entry Free: $20 for non-voting members, $10 for voting members, Youth (under 18) are free (the $10 fee is paid by a grant from AGF), and spectators are free.
* 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.

Hello, Go players.

It’s been a while since our last pair go game, so as we slip into this winter season why not enjoy some silly fun with some pair go. This is a pure fun event, and is great excuse to bring life partners, significant others, close friends, beginners, etc., to enjoy the game and make Go more accessible.

We would love to see 32 or 40 (or more 😊) folks show up and join in for fun.  You can bring a pair partner, ask someone during registration time, or we can make pairs from singletons.  Pair Go works best with multiples of 8, so that each table with two boards can have two games, with round 2 being composed of winners playing winners, and there being a winning team for the table who win both games.  We can work with multiples of 4 if need be.  PLEASE come and play!!!

Event time is 29 NOV, Sat -- registration 1-2pm, round 1 is 2-3:30, and round 2 is roughly 3:30-5:00.  There will be 40 min of main time with no byo yomi.
