The 2009 UK Go Challenge for schools (and other youth clubs) is now over!.

Those who entered were sent a tournament pack and ran a heat before the end of June. There are lots of prizes in each pack, and everyone who got enough points could take part in the national finals.

The Finals were on Saturday 27th June, at Milton Community Centre in Cambridge from 11:00. There was £500 in prizes thanks to sponsor Winton Capital Management.

If your players couldn't get to the Finals, you could still run your own heat and enjoy the challenge. Likewise if you could't run a heat, it was still possible to get players to the finals.

Alongside the Finals this year we ran the Challengers' Tournament for all beginners and novices, including those who haven't taken part in a heat.

The entry forms are below.
