Coronavirus

As of 20-04-2020, this year's Durham Go Tournament has been cancelled due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. We may be able to organise something later in the year, depending on how things go. Keep safe, everyone.


At the moment, Durham Go Tournament 2020 is still planned to go ahead as normal. However, due to the current pandemic, it's possible that the situation might change. Durham Go Club itself has stopped meeting in person for the time being.

Possible alterations include wider spacings between tables at the tournament, cancelling the BBQ, or postponing or cancelling the whole tournament.

We will continue to monitor the situation, and will update this accordingly. If you have any questions about this, please do get in touch.

In the meantime, please do work on the assumption that things will go ahead as planned and sign up for the tournament!

Entry Form

To sign up, please send an email to tournament@durhamgo.club with your name, club, rank, whether you're a BGA member, whether you're a concession, which rounds you are planning to attend, and whether you're coming to the BBQ.

Concessions include under-18s, people in full-time education, people who are unwaged, and people who are attending their first tournament.

Note that you can change your grade on registration, if it's no longer correct.
