Over 140 players packed Robertson Gym on Thursday night for the lively and inclusive Pair Go
Main Event—one of the week’s most spirited social tournaments. With ranks ranging from 30k to 9p, pros and beginners alike joined forces, making for a uniquely dynamic and welcoming competition.
Participants were grouped into tables of four teams, playing two rounds of pair go in a format that matched winners against winners and losers against losers after Round 1. The result: plenty of fun, fierce play, and new friendships.
Among the many standout pairs claiming table wins were:
- Enyi Zou 11k & Alex Ehrlich 14k; Audrey Wang 3d & Trevor Morris 4d; Michael Simms 1d & Mike Keith 7k; James Sedgwick 6d & Della Tang 4k; Henry Yu 2p & Sihan Tan 3d; Eric Kang 2k & Bryan Walsch 3k; Austin Matthews 1k & Steven Lu 7k; Laura Wu 4k & Joel Kenny 5d; Dash Zhang 4d & May Zhang 2k; Qiao Ran 2d & Xilong Zhang 2k; Caleb Barnett 2k & Jonathan Pullano 10k; Xilin Wang 3k & Yu Fangyi 8k; Linfeng Yi 16k & Leo Chen 15k; Hsiao Cheng-Hao 9p & Lin Shu-Hui 5d; Amari Gonzalez 1d & Alex Corsiglia 1k; Caroline Li 7k & Patrick Bannister 8k; Juwon Choi 2k & Skye Chen 1k; Luca Bove 8k & Felix Huang 4d
Two table results are still pending confirmation. One includes a finalist with an unreadable name from the score sheet photo, though Felix Huang has been identified as one of the winners.
