Hosting Casual Pair Go this Nov 16

Some people have asked about organizing a time for pair Go, just a low-key time/event.  This will be the original form of pair Go without gender requirements, no fees, but also no banquet license or cake or donuts … just the fun and goofiness of pair Go.  This is a pure fun event, and it is great to bring life partners, significant others, beginners, etc., to make Go accessible and fun to them.

We would love to see 32 or 40 (or more 😊) folks show up and join in for fun.  You can bring a pair partner, ask someone during registration time, or we can make pairs from singletons.  Pair Go works best with multiples of 8, so that each table with two boards can have two games, with round 2 being composed of winners playing winners, and there being a winning team for the table who win both games.  We can work with multiples of 4 if need be.  PLEASE come and play!!!

Event time is 16 NOV, Sat — registration 1-2pm, round 1 is 2-3:30, and round 2 is roughly 3:30-5:00.  There will be 40 min of main time with no byo yomi.
