For all those who could make it out to the Anniversary Tournament/Party and all those who could not, thanks so much for all your love and support. The Seattle Go Center only functions because of the support of our membership and love of our great community.
So from the bottom of our hearts, thanks for all that you give and may the next year be even better.
We are glad to announce our upcoming 31th Anniversary Tournament October 4th. We will have both and open (all even games) and handicap tournament. The open tournament is for the 8 strongest players and will have a cash prize of $100 for the player winning 3 games. Our handicap tournament will also have some cash prizes for those who win 3 games (or divided over those who win 2 games if no one wins 3). There is also our usual kids prize of $20 for the person under 18 years old who wins the most games (playing with a higher ranks break ties).
We will also not be having our regular monthly tournament.
We will also order pizza after the first round, if participants want. It costs $15, and we will order 4 slices per person.
After the tournament we will host our Anniversary Party from 5:30pm-9pm. This event is free and open to all members. There will be chicken skewers and veggie stir fry for people to enjoy, and it will also be byob.
Registration:
9:00am-9:45am (an hour earlier than monthly ratings)
The Entrance fees:
$20 for non-voting members
$10 for voting members
$10 for youth under 18 (entrance fees will be paid by the AGF)
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR AGA MEMBERSHIP IS UP TO DATE AHEAD OF TIME. If you are not an AGA member when we pair the first round, you cannot play.
Big thanks to Bill Lin for visiting Seattle Go Center two days to give our strongest players a few games. I’d also like to thank all our strong players that were able to make it on such short notice. Other folks enjoyed watching the games. There were some great games played and overall it was a quite fun time. Props to Sung-Yen for contacting us and helping to set it up.
Bill Lin said he was pretty impressed with SGC and our members, and living in Vancouver, he hopes to come down more. He’ll coordinate ahead of time as this was a last minute visit on his way to the Go Congress.
