INTRODUCTION
The Bar Low is specifically for kyu players and the MacMahon bar is set no higher than 3 kyu (so far it has always been 5 kyu or lower).
Thanks to a sponsor who prefers to remain anonymous:
-
- the event is free of charge for anyone aged under 18
- there is a discount for full time students
Thanks to Guo Juan the first three places in the Bar Low will each receive a €50 voucher for her Internet Go School. Books will also be awarded as prizes.
Formal entry and payment begins one hour before the start of the first game.
If you pre-register you will pay the fee associated with the date you applied.(details and fee schedule below).

If you’re uncertain whether your entry has been accepted, just check our list of Pre-registered Players.
If you do not wish your name and grade to appear in the online list of players you must indicate this when you register.
If subsequently you wish your name to be removed from the online list then email us.
INITIAL McMAHON SCORE
Your initial McMahon score (MMS) will be set from your GoR as published on the date of the tournament. If you do not have a GoR you might be required to provide other evidence of your strength. Your initial MMS determines who you will play in the first round. If you do not think your GoR is accurate (for example, you are a quickly improving kyu player who hasn’t played in any recent tournaments) please email us with your preferred strength.
