The AGA has recently received an invitation to send a team of 3 amateur youth players (between ages 7-18) and 1 team coach to the 2025 Quzhou International Friendly Children Amateur Weiqi Invitational Tournament organized by the Chinese Weiqi Association and Quzhou Municipal People's Government between 10/22-10/27 in Quzhou, China. The organizers will cover all on-site expenses as well as up to 5,000 RMB per person for travel expenses.
Young players interested in applying to be considered for the US team may submit the
application form by 9/16 to be considered for the US team. US citizenship or green card is required, as well as the capability to travel to China for the entire duration of the event. While the team selection will be primarily based on AGA rating, preference may be given to those who have not previously attended this event if there are multiple applicants with similar ranks.
Interested adults who are strong teachers and have experience with coaching young players may email Justin Teng at justin.teng@usgo.org to express interest in the team leader role. The host organizing committee will cover round-trip transportation expenses for the team leader in addition to on-site expenses.
Any other questions may be directed to Justin Teng at justin.teng@usgo.org.
