First of Many

Posted in Go at 01:56 by signius

The first go tournament to be held in Cork went smoothly and was much enjoyed by all. (Including yours truly, for whom it was also a personal first.) Kudos to Stephan & Co of the UCC Club for pulling it off so smoothly. (I don’t know the details of who was involved, but I’m sure individual credit will be given on their forums.)

A last minute appeal by Lucas led to the advertised timings being changed to make the tournament proper. This means that results should count towards EGF rating.

After the prize-giving, Arthur and Olivier from the Dublin Club gave a brief rundown on how the IGA is taking steps to make clearer the benefits of membership and become more proactive in running events. They even managed to sign up a few new members ^^
