Open Tournament and Workshop Calendar

Every Second Saturday at Seattle Go Center, join us for Speed League! Three rounds of fast-paced tournament Go, without the burden of excess thinking time. At 10 minutes + 3 periods of 20 seconds byo-yomi, these games are not rated by the AGA, but they *are* a lot of fun! Register in person, 1:15 - 1:45 PM. First round starts by 2:00. If you're running late, call us at 206-545-1424 and we'll try to pair you in. The third round is usually done around 4:00 or 4:15. AGA membership is not required, and Go Center membership policies -- http://www.seattlego.org/membership/ -- do apply.
