Registration for the next AGA On-Line Games Self-Paired Tournament -- which will run January 1 to March 31, 2014 on KGS -- begins December 15.The initial  Self-Paired Tournament -- in which 24 players have so far played 44 games -- will end December 31, with results announced in early January. 
Players must be AGA members current through March 1, 2014. A player’s current AGA rating is the default tournament rating. Tournament Ratings may be adjusted by the Tournament Director for those without an AGA rating or for those who whose current AGA rating clearly does not reflect their current playing strength. Games are played and tournament documents are linked in the AGA Tournament Room on KGS. Simultaneous games will also be offered during this upcoming quarter in the AGA Community Room on KGS by volunteers AGA 4 dan and above. The room is open to all AGA members current through March 31, 2014. Email bobgilman.aga@gmail.com with your AGA ID number and KGS username for access to the room. A schedule is linked in the room and in the AGA Tournament Room. "These games are a fine opportunity for players to test their understanding and technique against stronger players," says Gilman.
