Rocky Mountain Spring Tourney Includes NAMT Qualifier

The upcoming Rocky Mountain Spring Go Tournament on April 13^th will have prizes for the winners in Dan, Kyu, and Double Digit Kyu brackets, and will also be raffling go sets “and other fun prizes,” promises organizer Paul Barchilon. “Even if you don't win your section, you could go home with a nice prize,” he adds. The top section will also be a qualifier for the North American Masters Tournament (NAMT) at the US Go Congress. “We will try to have a beginners section as well, on 13x13, and AGA membership will not be required to play in that section,” says Barchilon. “There are no fixed rounds, so there shouldn't be too much waiting for games.  Players will be paired as they are available.  These are handicap games, but an attempt will be made to pair as many even games as is practical.”  The NAMT section will have four rounds, and all games will be played even.
