Join us for our annual 4-round AGA-rated paired tournament! There will be a nice prize for everyone, and all playing levels are welcome.
PrizesThe top three A-division finishers win cash prizes ($200, $100, $50), while all other players will get to select a new go book or other go-related item to take home.
Fee$15 for Adults
$10 for high school age or younger
Time ControlsFisher time (aka "Bonus time"): 20 minutes basic, with 15 seconds added after each move -- this equates to 57.5 minutes for each player in a 300-move (ie., longish) game.
RequirementsAll players must have a current AGA membership or a one-day tourney pass.
FoodFree refreshments provided. Players can order lunch ($9.00) from a Chinese restaurant menu. Our tournament's traditional Problem Cake will be served at the end of lunch.
