Hey, all. As we try to return to normal in the tail of covid, and breathe more fun and life into SGC, we're returning to one of our big tournaments 22 OCT, Saturday. There will be prizes, an open section for strong players (all games are even regardless of rank), and a handicap tournament. As in the past, we'll have prizes for the open, a stronger section of the handicap tournament, a weaker section of the handicap tournament, and a kids prize.
After the tournament, we will have an anniversary party, 27 years of SGC!!!
We are still working out details, but probably the tournament will be signup at 9am, first round at 10am, and party starting around 6pm. If you have input on the party, please send me email. We're considering some catered food, but have to be wary of budget, and we will get a banquet license so that it can be BYOB. SGC, might buy a few bottles of nihonshu, but not promises. One detail we know is, even though we are loosening our covid policy in OCT, due to the expected larger turnout and AGA guidance on tournaments, participants in the tournament will need to wear masks while playing Go. Players sit very closely and surprisingly sigh and breathe heavy often, just 2-3 feet from their opponents. The party will adhere to the general SGC covid policy starting in OCT.
We really look forward to the strong players returning to SGC and having a big tournament as we did a few times a year before COVID. If you don't want to play in the tournament, feel free to come early to watch the final round of strong players or any players.
Cheers,
Bill
