The complete standings, ratings and pairings for the 2014 New Jersey Open have now been posted online, courtesy of the Feng Yun Go School, reports tournament director Paul Matthews.
NJO Co-Champions Mengchen Zhang 7D (at right in photo at left) and Eric Lui 7D (at left) each received a $400 prize; certificates and cash awards were also given to other players who won four or five games and who played all five rounds, $60 for four wins and $80 for five. A beginner’s prize, a good quality complete go set, was awarded to Sophia Wang by random drawing from players rated 15k and below who completed at least three games. “We had a good field of beginners this year,” said organizer Rick Mott. “Fifteen in the drawing, plus one — Audrey Shin — who was ineligible as a previous winner, and two — Peter and Alana Noehrenberg — who generously asked to be left out of the drawing because they already had equipment.”
A record 135 players participated in the 2014 New Jersey Open held at Princeton University on March 1 and 2, organized by Mott and hosted by the Princeton University Go Club. photos by Frank Huang (left) and by Chris Garlock (right).
