The first meeting of the new AGA Board took place on July 19 and followed a new topic-oriented meeting structure. The board discussed expanding and improving major AGA tournaments through funding and policy. The board moved to double the sigma expansion rate of AGA ratings and to revise memberships to better allow for single event and participation in AGA tournaments by foreign nationals. The board also discussed ways to speed up the process of updating ratings following tournaments.
