A League

A league games will commence upon the completion of the B league. A league games will be scheduled by the two players. The Tournament director will help resolve any problems that players have in scheduling games. A league games will be played on IGS and must be schedule one week in advance so that proper notification of the AGA Go community is possible.


B League playoff (KGS)

KGS doesn't have Ing rules, so New Zealand rules were chosen with 7 komi. In New Zealand rules, white wins ties, but in Ing rules, black wins ties. That is why Ing komi 8 is the same as NZ komi 7. All games scores were verified by hand.
