Masters Open

At the New York Open, Dae Yol Kim 7d, Young Kwon 7d and I met to discuss how to attract the Korean Community to the AGA.

There were many things that we spoke about, but that will come in another post... maybe.

For now we are going to have the Masters Open.

1st prize: $800 or more

2nd prize: $400

3rd prize: $200

The entry fee for the Tournament is as follows

AGA members : $40
Non Members $50 (includes 1 year membership.)

All games will be even, and only the top three finishers will recieve prizes.

This is the first step of our plan to get the Korean players to Join the AGA.

There are so many korean players, and I honestly think that they might enjoy a little heterogenity as far as their pool of opponents goes.

More on this later....

I just thought of something. I'd really like to see this open covered as much possible on video and then posted on YouTube. It would be awesome to be able to watch matches(quarters, semis, finals) and see what the place looks like.

as far as video coverage, I dont know, but we could broadcast the match online at KGS
