3rd Annual Collegiate Go League Championship Starts This Saturday on KGS

March Madness is over, "but the American Collegiate Go Association (ACGA) will keep it alive through April," promises Cole Pruitt. This Saturday, April 12 and the following week, April 19, the ACGA will host the 3rd annual Collegiate Go League championship on KGS. At 1 pm EST each Saturday in the KGS "Collegiate Go League" room, matches will be held between the ACGA's top four finishers from the season. The semifinals will be this Saturday, April 12, with Yale taking on top-seeded U. Mich and U. Toronto against U Maryland. The winners from these 5v5 school-based matches will face off in the finals on the next Saturday, for the coveted ACGA Cup (photo), with cash prizes for the top three winners. ACGA resident professional Stephanie Yin will be on hand each weekend to provide live commentary of the top boards on KGS, starting at 1:30 PM EST once the matches are underway. "We invite anyone to join the matches and kibitz away," says Pruitt, "especially students interested in promoting go in primary, secondary, and post-secondary school."
