NYGC Big Tournament 1
Saturday, April 26th, 2008, Registration starts 9 am Tournament starts 11am
On April 26th the New York Go Center will be hosting the 1st of a series of upcoming tournaments.
Prizes
April's tournament and all the tournaments in the series will have cash prizes. There also will be new and different prizes.
I mentioned that it was a series of tournaments. Over the next six months the New York Go Center will have at least 6 tournaments, $5.00 of each player registration fee will go towards prizes to be awarded at the end of the six months. These will larger prizes than those for a single tournament.
The exact prizes have not been finalized but the idea is for example;
* Prizes for those with the most wins
* With the highest winning percentage for those attending 2/3 or more of the tournaments.
* The plan is to have the above prizes for groups of players based on player strength, so everyone has a fair chance to win.
So if you attend the tournaments regularly, and you never win a single tournament, you get still have a decent opportunity to take home the top prize.

The "Registration Fee" is 15 dollars.
