  • Maintain a national rating system.
  • Help local chapters organize local and regional tournaments, workshops, etc.
  • Organize national and international qualifying tournaments.
  • Organize Annual US Go Congress.
  • Represent US Go players by membership in the International Go Federation.
  • Select professional and amateur representatives for international competition.
  • Provide financial, informational, and material support to AGA chapters and Go teachers.
