Professional Tournaments

Amateur Tournaments
Jared: Cash prizes are ok, but I think they are not creative, and besides, money dirties art, it always has.
Creative and meaningful prizes are best. I love the print I won at the 03' Oza in New York. It is about 20" by 10" and shows courtesans or noble ladies by the Go board.
Cash prizes also have a way of making tournament entry fees too high. (Without cash prizes, no normal tournament should be more than 10$ / day. I'd rather buy my own food, too) Tournament Directors: Let's increase tournament attendance with lower fees! :)
