Ideas

Rengo Tournament

  • All the frustration of pair go with the added pressure of a tournament, what better way to make friends (or lose them) This is a new idea, with a very loose description:
    • Players are sorted into one of three categories based on rank. A team would consist of a player from the middle category and another from one of the other categories. there would be two main divisions: one for advanced-average teams, one for average-novice teams. The teams would be created randomly and made so that the overall strength of the teams is similar for their division. Then we would have some sort of tourney, perhaps a round robin.
    • your thoughts?

Teaching Tournament

  • Ever worried that you won't be pushed to play your best when in a teaching game? what if it mattered? another new idea, holds some promise
    • The games would be even games between players of different strengths, the object is to have the student play his best while the teacher tries to do his best to come up with a close game
    • Part marks would have to be awarded for difference in score, such as a big black win would count for 2, a close game would count for 0 for black and 2 for white, a big loss would count for 0 points.

Student Program

  • A chance for very dedicated teachers and students to help each other along up the ladder
    • Basically a partnership between a stronger player and a weaker player, this involves more dedication on the part of both individuals, a sort of mentor program.
    • Can be a great learning experience for the student, and for the teacher it is an ability to practice reviewing and teaching skills as well as help him/her understand their game better.
    • Perhaps after a set amount of time, like once a month or something similar there could be a simple organized tournament for the students so they could measure their progress. These games would also make for very good reviewing as well.
    • Of course a teacher could also be a student of another. Perpetuating the ladder.
    • your thoughts?
