Description: Five-round Swiss tournament (the traditional 6-person tables will not be used this year.)

Rules: AGA rules will be used. Komi is variable depending on rank difference. No handicap stones will be used. Time limit is 12 minutes per player, sudden death.

Prizes: There will be three divisions: Dan, Single-digit kyu, and Double-digit kyu. The winners and two runner-ups of each division will receive an award.

Platform: The 9x9 tournament will be hosted on OGS. For more information, check out the OGS e-Go Congress handbook from last year. Please be sure to join the AGA group on OGS so that you are aware of important announcements.

Pairings: All pairings will take place on the Baduk Club website. You must create an account on Baduk Club before the start of the tournament. Use the same OGS username you entered during congress registration.

You will use Baduk Club to monitor your pairings, check-in when ready to start each round, view the results of games, and get chat and video help from the TDs. Once both players have checked-in for each round, an OGS game will automatically be created for you (no need to enter all the game parameters yourself).

No-Show Opponents Players have 15 minutes to show up for their game after the start of the round. If they do not show up in 15 minutes, they will receive a bye-loss.

Watch an Instructional Video, below, of how to use the website.
