[Seattle Go Center] Monthly Ratings Tournament this Sunday Feb 4

Dear Go Players,

Well, it's February already, and the Monthly Ratings Tournament is coming up this Sunday, Feb. 4, with registration from
10 to 10:45. We had 40 people at the Jin Chen Tournament last month, which had prizes. The December ratings
tournament had 22 players, from 5 dan to 25 kyu. In December, two thirds of the games had handicaps of two stones or
less.

Here are the details for this Sunday:

This is a great way to play some intense Go face to face. 3 rounds, Japanese rules. 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 under the age of 18, or be a "new
member" which gives you ten free visits.

Registration is from 10:00 - 10:45 sharp. You can call 206 545-1424 if you will run late. If you call in, your clock starts
10 min into the first round, and after 30 min, if you do not show, you forfeit. If you come before 12:30 and register, you
will probably be able to play in the second round.

First round starts at 11 am. Second round starts by 1:30, but may start sooner. 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.

AGA membership is required; 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. You can join the AGA or renew in person at the Go Center
as well, but please come early to do that.

You do not have play all three rounds - just be sure to tell the Tournament Director what your plans are.

Cheers,
Brian
