Background information:

Motivation:

It has been often advised that playing against someone 2-5 ranks above is good for getting stronger.
Playing against that person regularly is better still, which is the reasoning behind the KGSMentoringScheme.

This brilliant idea will be implemented within our club, with slight modifications:

  • Our club does not have an even spread of kyus and dans. So, our mentoring ladders ==> mentoring trees.
  • Online clubs are somewhat unsuitable for long, narrow chains, due to myriad locations and time-zones of members. So, the structure ==> each member being assigned 1-2 mentors, and 1-4 students.

The Plan:

  • We will "break" the club up into Go Houses, inspired by the FourHouses of Japan.
    • (Honinbo, Inoue, Yasui, Hayashi) and McSweeney.
    • If you are interested in helping out in any way, please contact iLoveSai.

Summary (ideally there will be):

  • Group tourneys & competition between houses.
  • Lots of group & invididual teachings/mentorings within each house.
  • Healthy rivalry between houses.
  • Healthy rivalry between players of similar ranks across & within houses.
  • Lots of fun & improvements for everyone involved!

Comments, Thoughts, Opinions:

  • For the Future: Encouraging friendly rivalries between Houses will make the scheme more fun and perhaps prod a greater interest in personal improvement. To this end, once we have the Houses established, we will implement inter-House tournaments and teaching events.
  • This is not meant to distract from the fact that the mentoring ladders are the core of the idea. We are not trying to split into mini-clubs - We are the Sabaki Go Club, not the Honinbo club, the Inoue club, or the Yasui club. - SikeElegy
