Participants will register in Adult (≥ 18 years) or Youth (<18 years) group. The Youth group will be further divided into Senior and Junior sections based on age and Go skill level. To register, please fill out the registration form (please click here), drop off the form at school information desk during school hours, or email us at gomatch2013@gmail.com. The registration deadline is Jan 18th, 2013 (Friday). The tournament will be judged by Go Teacher Ms Jie Tang (6 Dan).
