2024 Maine State Championship and Open

Who: A tournament open to all members of the AGA! Joining the AGA typically costs $30; if you’re joining as a Maine resident, contact us to get a discount code. The tournament is free for new AGA members this fall. The top placing Maine resident will be the new Maine State Champion.
What: Three rounds of games, AGA rules, 20 minutes plus 20 seconds Fischer time. Initial pairings will be based on rank (using the McMahon system). Players may move up or down in later rounds; everyone will get to play three games. Everyone will be asked to wear masks in the game room; we’ll have some on hand.

Why: Fame, glory, and a chance to meet and challenge Go players in the region. We’ll have coffee & snacks in the morning; there are several good choices for lunch in easy walking distance. There will be both a winner of the Open and of the State Championship, and games will count toward AGA rankings.
