AGA Board Waives U.S. Youth Go Championship Requirement
Published on 2/1/2010
The AGA Board acted Sunday to waive the 10-game minimum requirement for the annual U.S. Youth Go Championship, converting last year's one-time exemption into a permanent exemption for this tournament, which leads to the selection of the U.S. representative to the World Youth tournament. Board Chairman Roy Schmidt noted that "This responds to concerns of youth advocates that the AGA should be encouraging maximum participation in this tournament, with reduced requirements."
