Directing a Go Tournament

This space is intended to provide a means by which tournament directors can share information. The web site is designed to work in conjunction with an email list.

NEW! Archives of the list are available.

When you are first faced with the task of directing a tournament, you may be confused. You may wonder about the difference between Swiss and Swiss-MacMahon. Which kind of tournament gives a clear champion? What mechanisms adjust for players entering at the wrong level? How are tournament results and ratings related? How do you get in touch with the national organization?
