Life In 19x19

Just out of curiosity: Are there any prerequisites for taking part in such a workshop? Does one need to have a certain rank?

- tournament rules are EGF General Tournament Rules and EGF Tournament System Rules, some specific tournaments have particular tournament rules (some fixed, some drafts)
- rules of play: you find the options in the General Tournament Rules
- pairing programs: see appendix of Tournament System Rules

Now which decisions might you mean?

Ahh oops we were talking about different tournaments.

You were talking about the EGC
while
I was talking about the WMSG 2012

daal, there are no requirements, except that getting a certificate requires active participation for the entire workshop. Participants are strongly encouraged to prepare themselves though by reading the rules and tournament rules.

willemien, WMSG 2012: Nothing is fixed yet but opinions of influential persons were expressed: EGF Rules Commission + Chen Zuyuan: WMSG Rules, else BGA Rules. Martin Stiassny: Verbal European-Japanese Rules. BGA, IGF: No opinion yet?

Tournament systems and tournament rules are not being prepared yet.

Hi Robert,

would you be so kind and post a link concerning exact time and place of the workshop when you know something's coming up on the net?

How about accomodations during EGC, entrance fee questions etc? I will be on holiday in Germany during July/August, but don't think that I will travel without a more detailed plan..

It can happen that the exact schedule will be decided only during the EGC. I do not know if I can announce that on the web then. Surely it will be announced on the wall at the EGC venue. Also note that the IGF might come up with a schedule of their own with possibly an extra workshop for IGF referees, unless the IGF decides to fuse both workshops.

I would like to participate, and I would love to help with the MindGames go-arrangement! Shall watch out for further news from both egf and igf
