Dear Go Center Members,
There is a big tournament scheduled in Oregon -- well worth the trip. Here's the info:
Portland Go Tournament
October 20-21, 2012 Lewis & Clark College, Portland, OR
Come play SEVEN rounds of AGA-rated Go! That's right, MORE GO THAN
YOU'LL GET IN THE US OPEN! This is a handicap tournament, so you can
expect some exciting, close games no matter your rank.
Strong players (6D+ AGA) may opt instead for the 5-round open
tournament -- all even games, may the best player win!
Prizes (merchandise, lessons, or cash) will be awarded for:
Top three places (open)
Top three dan players (handicap)
Top three single-digit kyu players (handicap)
Top three double-digit kyu players (handicap)
Top youth player (18 and under) (handicap)
Top female player (handicap)
TO REGISTER: Register at www.goclubs.org. If you entered all of your
personal information last year, it should still be there; you may wish
to update your rank. Email me (drake@lclark.edu) if you have any
questions.
REGISTRATION FEE: $15 if you've preregistered by SEPTEMBER 20, $25
otherwise, no registration fee for Lewis & Clark students and players
18 and under. ALL players must also either be AGA members (you can
join at the tournament for $30) or pay a one-tournament membership fee
of $10.
All fees are paid by cash or check on the day of the tournament.
LOCATION: Albany 218 and 220 on the campus of Lewis & Clark College.
This is the same location as last year. Maps:
