[Seattle Go Center] Ratings Tournament this Sunday, July 6

Dear Go Players,

Our Monthly Ratings Tournament is this Sunday, July 6, at the Go Center, with registration from 12:00 to 12:45.  This is a great way to play some intense Go face to face.  

On Sundays, you may park anywhere in our parking lot. We have 3 rounds, Japanese rules.  You do not have play all three rounds - just be sure to tell the Tournament Director what your plans are. The last round should finish around 6:30 or 7:00 pm. The tournament is free, but you need to pay for your visit to the Go Center, or be a voting member of the Go Center, or be a "new member" which gives you ten free visits. 

AGA membership is required since this is for the American Go Association ratings; please check to see if your membership is current, and try to renew it online if it needs to be updated.  More info on membership is at www.usgo.org  (Note: if you just want to check your membership status, you can use the ratings page for that: http://www.usgo.org/search-ratings. You do not need a password for this.) You can join the AGA or renew in person at the Go Center as well, but please come early to do that.

If your first game runs long, you do not have much time for lunch.  We recommend that you bring food to the Go Center, rather than planning on going out to get lunch.

Cheers,

Brian
