Jon organizes mini-tournament this Sun & Tues
Jon Sarry is putting together our first mini, “tune-up” tournament (my words, not his). These will be held this Sunday, August 30 and Tuesday, September 1. This is a dry-run for regular local events. I think we have seven or eight attending already. The goal is to help us solidify the relative ranks of our… Continue reading Jon organizes mini-tournament this Sun & Tues
US Go Congress
Josh and I thought it would be interesting to post about the Go Congress as is going on. I started this post for that purpose. The thread can continue via comments, etc. Light reading for the plane:
Campus Events

Josh takes Freiburg
According to the E-Journal this morning, “American 3d Joshua Lee won Freiburg” with a 5-0 record. Since I guess there aren’t that many dan-level Go playing Americans in Freiburg named “Joshua Lee”, this must be “our” Josh. The results are here. Congratulations Josh!
AGA Updates Things…Eventually
Our website is finally correctly linked on the AGA website. Also, ranking information from both the Orlando and Ft. Myers tournaments is up-to-date. Sorry, Josh…Karsten’s defeat by Chi did not bump him back under you.
Flexing our UCF club arm — Upcoming campus events
Three up-coming campus events from Go Club at UCF: casual play this Sunday evening 7p-10p at the Student Union, Hikaru no Go night with the UCF anime club Sunday June 28, and a follow-up Go showcase event (probably) the Wednesday after that. More information below the cut.
Josh makes trans-Atlantic extension, aiming to connect to his Orlando group
As some of you know, Joshua Lee (our fearless leader, highest rated FL AGA member until the tournament results are posted) has the wonderful opportunity to spend some time in Germny this summer. He has a blog setup there. I’ve also put it in the “General Links” “Friends” category to the left.
How to achieve diverse player attendance?
Since I doubt any but a few of our members who already attend read this website, this post will not be the most useful. On the off chance that it may lead to something, I’ll try anyway. Please feel free provide any constructive feedback as a comment here or in an email. I think our… Continue reading How to achieve diverse player attendance?
