Sewickley GO Tournaments
When & Where
- We try to hold tournaments once or twice a year.
- Tournaments, unless otherwise posted, are held in Crazy Mocha.
What Kind of Games ?
Our main goal is FUN ! Thus, each tournament will have a different flavor. Here are some of types of games we may hold at tournaments
- Handicapped vs. Even games: GO allows handicaps so that players of widely different skills can play each other and have equal chances of winning. If we play a tournament with even games, we first divide players into sections by their rank and only play for section prizes.
- Different Size / Shape boards: We may hold fun games with 9x9, 13x13 or other sizes or shapes.
- Slow games vs Fast games: We may use timers to control speeds. Sometimes it is fun to play blitz games !
Who May Participate ?
- Members of any GO Club may play.
- However, to preserve our emphasis on local community, in some tournament games, awards will only be given to Sewickley Go Club members
- Non-club members may participate if time and tables allow
- KGS Account: You must have an active KGS account
