[Seattle Go Center] Rengo / Pair Go survey results

Hello fellow Go fans,

We recently had a survey about Pair Go / Rengo, and we got 22 response. The survey is now closed. Results:

(1) Timing - What time limits should the Go Center use for the Pair Go/Rengo tournaments? ...
54.5% 45 minutes per team, no overtime ("sudden death").
27.3% 30 minutes per team, overtime 3 x 30 seconds byo-yomi.
18.2% 45 minutes per team, overtime 1 x 10 seconds byo-yomi.

(2) Pair-Go Partners - How should the players in Pair Go be paired? The December tournament has used the International Pair Go rules -- one female and one male per team. Should that definition be expanded ... ?
9.1% Partners should be limited to male-female pairs (International Pair Go rules).
68.2% Partners should be limited to mixed-gender pairs, including transgender and non-binary people.
22.7% Partners should not be limited by gender.

The Go players have spoken, and Bill Thompson, our main Rengo / Pair Go TD, agrees.
- Time limits will remain at 45 minutes per team, sudden death.
- At the June 8 Rengo event, gender is irrelevant to team composition.
- At the December Pair Go event, teams will be composed of mixed-gender pairs, including transgender and non-binary people.

Thanks for participating. Watch for another survey coming soon, about how best to plan events when professional players are visiting.

See you soon at the Go Center,
