The AGA has received a request to send a young US or Canadian player to Tokyo, Japan for the 4th GLOBIS Cup U-20 World Go Championship, to be held April 20-23, 2017. The event, sponsored by the GLOBIS Corporation and organized by the Nihon Ki-in, will provide meals and accommodations for the players, as well as an accompanying adult if the player is under 18. Air fare will be borne by the player and companion. The player must be under 20 years old as of January 1, 2017, and meet the other AGA or CGA eligibility requirements. Any necessary online play-offs will take place between Feb. 21 and Feb. 27. This is a great opportunity to compete in an international tournament, explore Tokyo, and represent the AGA and CGA. Interested players should respond with their names, best form of contact, and KGS IDs before midnight Feb. 20 to president@usgo.org.
