There’s still time to register for the biggest go event in North American, which starts on Saturday, August 9, with nearly 500 already signed up. The schedule includes both rated – such as the US Open and continuous Self-Paired -- and unrated (9x9, 13x13, Lightning, etc) tournaments, lectures and simuls with professional go players and more.
