Dear Members,
We have a new opportunity at the Seattle Go Center. We are organizing an ongoing Self Pair Tournament, so that you can play AGA rated games on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with partners of your own choosing. The procedure is similar to what you can do at a Go Congress: find a rated player within handicapping range, agree to a game, and use a clock. (We can show you where they are stored.) Then you should write down the results on the forms on the 2nd desk near the door, and put them in the jar with the red top. The TD for self-paired games is Dennis Wheeler, our Saturday Manager (denniswheeler@yahoo.com). He will submit the results to the AGA.
We hope this will enable you to play more AGA rated games. As a reminder, please do not comment on games as they are being played at the Go Center … especially ones being played with clocks, because they may be rated games.
The Fine Print: All games must be played with a clock at the Seattle Go Center, with a minimum of 30 minutes per player and byo-yomi of five 15-second segments. Both players must be current members of the AGA, and that membership must be verifiable at https://www.usgo.org/search-ratings (Note that this can take a while after you renew or join.) Each player must pay for their visit to the Seattle Go Center, or be lifetime, yearly or quarterly members of the Go Center.
Cheers,
Brian
