2nd Kuchinashi Tournament (4k-6k)
Posted: Fri May 14, 2010 9:12 am
We've reacher critical mass for another Kuchinashi tournament.
Participants are seeded according to KGS graph as follows:
1) Jedo (4k)
2) Redundant (5k)
3) Padic (5k)
4) Redstick (6k)
5) Nikolas73 (6k)
6) Karaklis (6k)
7) Aphelion (6k)
8) SoDesuNe (6k)
Start Date:
The official start of the first 2 week round will be this coming Monday 5/17. But if you want to get a jump on things and play a game this weekend it can count.
Rules:
- All games will occur in Go Discussions room on KGS (I suppose a life in 19x19 room would make more sense but I think most people are still in the GD room)
- Each round will consist of a best-of-five series (first person to win 3 games moves on)
- Losers during first two rounds will enter a "losers bracket"
- Winner of the losers bracket will play the winner of the original bracket in a best-of-seven series for the championship
- 30min + 1:00x5 byo-yomi; 6.5 komi; no handicap; alternate B&W with lower seeded player taking Black first
- Each round will last 2 weeks. Individuals will be responsible for scheduling games. Advertising of game times (in this thread) is encouraged so that people may watch if they wish.
- The winner will update the series standings in this thread after each game.
- No use of outside resources during games (honor system will have to do)
Matching:
For game scheduling convenience there will be a Eurpean group and a US/Canada group.
Round 1:
Europe
Padic (3) v. SoDesuNe (8)
3-1
Karaklis (6) v. Aphelion (7)
0-3
US/Canada

2-3
Redundant (2) v. Redstick (4)
3-1
Round 2:

Padic v. Aphelion
0-3
Nikolas v. Redundant
2-3
Secondary:
Karaklis v. SoDesuNe
2-3
Jedo v. Redstick
0-1
Round 3:
Primary:
Aphelion v. Redundant
Secondary:
Padic v. Nikolas73
SoDesuNe v. Jedo
Analysis:
After each round the players should select 1 game that they feel each would benefit to have reviewed and post it in the game analysis forum.
If any Dan level players want to volunteer to offer the winner a couple teaching games it would be much appreciated.
Last time Flameblade watched and reviewed many of the games. We thank him again.
Am I missing anything?

But I like the idea of just playing the winner. I've been trying different things recently to reduce my stress while playing go, and playing lots of tournament games might have the reverse effect.
