Simsbury Open Scholastic Go & Chess Championship
Saturday February 9th 2013 at the Simsbury Public Library
Saturday February 9th the Simsbury Library Chess & Go Club will organize the 1st Simsbury Open Go Championship.
Players from out of town are also invited to join us.
This document describes the section for Go only. Chess players can visit our web site for information about their sections.
There will be one section:
1) Championship, open to all players age 18 and lower
Everyone will play 5 rounds. Time control is based on 30 minutes per player per round.
The first round starts at 10:30 am, we expect to finish around 4:30 pm.
Please bring a set and a clock if you have one.
The entry fee is $15 for current members of the American Go Association (AGA).
Otherwise the entry fee is $20. We will register the results with AGA so the tournament will be rated.
Our tournament director will be Michael Scudder.
In case you are not familiar with AGA Go tournament rules or if you have never played with a clock before and are a little nervous about it, we will organize a small warm-up meeting.
This will be held Wednesday February 6th from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the Discovery Room in the Library. This would also
be your last chance to register for the regular entry fee.
Join us there if you'd like.
There will be trophies for the first three individuals. There will be a special one for the highest ending resident of Simsbury, West Simsbury, Tariffville and Weatogue, our new Simsbury Go Champion.
There will be other prizes. Nobody will go home empty handed.
Mail entries to Gert Hilhorst, 18 The Courtyard, Simsbury, CT 06070-2214. Make your check payable to Gert Hilhorst. Your mail must be postmarked by February 4th.
Alternatively, you can also register at the Library just before the tournament starts between 10:00 and 10:20 am. However, we'll charge you $10 extra.
Snacks, drinks and lunch will be available for sale on site.
The location is Simsbury Public Library, 725 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury, CT
Please tell us if you need a bye for one of the rounds.
