At last week’s regular club meeting we finalized the rules for the upcoming Rotten Battle Axe Tournament. The RBA Tournament starts on April 1st and doubles as our celebration of the club’s 1 year anniversary. On the 25th I’ll display the tournament’s initial brackets.
- Same game rules as ladder games – 19×19, 6.5 komi, nigiri, recorded, no time limit.
- We’ll use a 2 double elimination brackets – one for the top half of the ladder and one for the bottom half. This implies we’ll have a novice and advanced tournament running concurrently, with two winners in the end.
- Games can be arranged to be played outside of club, but must be recorded.
- Entrance fee is 1 prize – ie, some home brew, a plate of brownies, Go book, or something similar. Your prize/fee should be something you’d like to win in the $10 – $15 range. If you are planning on ordering Go gear or books for your entry fee, let Pippin know ASAP.
- Prizes will be awarded as follows: top player in the advanced bracket picks a prize from the entrance fees, then top player in the novice bracket picks, 2nd place in the advanced bracket, 2nd place in the novice bracket, and so on. So really #2 is incorrect, we’ll have many winners, not just two.
- See the following post for brackets and more info.
