Changes for 2008 logo
For those who ran events in 2007 the system is same, except for the following:
  • Prizes - this year Top Prizes (a Nihon Ki-in phone strap) is included
  • Passing - pass stones must be given on every pass and not just after a restart
  • Last play - must be made by white, even if a third pass in a row is made
  • Komi - is now 7 points
  • Ko Rule - the repetition rule now also applies to any previous same position (though this is extremely rare and probably undetectable)
Also note:
  • The national finals will be at Milton Community Centre near Cambridge on 6th July 2008
  • Discretion - you or us have discretion to allow strong players to attend the finals if they are unable to take part in the heats for some unavoidable reason
  • Geographic Go Galas - we hope to have one day Geographic Go Galas in some regions
