Registration You can register online at https://durhamgo.club/tourn2023.php. The entry fee is £10 for full time students, and people for whom this will be their first tournament. Otherwise, the entry fee is £20.

Tournament Rules
Default BGA Tournament rules apply except that handicaps, where relevant, will be at the McMahon difference and that komi will be 7. (If you don't know what this means, don't worry, you don't need to.) Mobile phones should be switched off during play. Time settings will be Fischer time: 30 minutes main time + 10 seconds per move.

Prizes
Several prizes will be on offer at the tournament, such as:

Our usual Durham Goat Ornament
Alcohol (including some local alcohols)
Chocolate
...and probably others
For our weaker entrants - you don't have to win the tournament to get a prize! Prizes will also be given for things like winning all your games; ending on 2 wins, 2 losses and 2 jigos; winning the lightning/small board side events; etc.

If you think you're too weak to enter - one of our regular players learned to play one evening, then entered their first tournament the following morning!
