Dear Go Players,
Here is a friendly reminder that the Jin Chen Memorial Tournament is coming up this Sunday, Jan. 4 2015. We expect players from double digit kyu levels to at least 7 dan. Last year we had 46 players. This is an AGA rated tournament, and it replaces our regular Monthly Ratings Tournament. Registration starts at 10 am.
Here are the details:
Please join us for our biggest tournament of the year, with prizes totaling $1000. There will be an open section and several handicapped sections, and special prizes for young players. First place in the Open Section wins $300. This is a great way to play some intense Go face to face.
The tournament is 3 rounds, Japanese rules. $15 general entry; $10 for youth and voting members of the Go Center. Registration is from 10:00 - 10:45 sharp.
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.
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
