How about scrapping this page as it has no value any more


I don't mind if it goes. - Ian
IK2005 is the Irish Knockout Cup 2005, a 9x9 knockout event played on Dragongoserver for Irish players. I, IanDavis, am directing the tournament in a haphazard fashion. The page is mirrored at [ext] this page

Also see IK2006.

Some Details

Basic Rules

  • 9x9
  • even games - better in my opinion but open to persuasion
  • Time limits not decided yet, 50 days and some byoyomi should be plenty. Turn the clock off at weekends.
  • Komi, 5.5
  • Pairings decided by myself at random

The Draw

Noel has been awarded the bye for the first round. Note that the draw is always going to be random, there is no top and bottom half of the draw. The method for making the draw was asking a friend to type the numbers 1 to 14 in a random order.

Round 1

 White           -   Black   
John Gibson 0 - 1 Claas Roever
Olivier Deme 1 - 0 Brendan Nolan
Tom McAnally 1 - 0 "Bob Dylan"-Barry
Ian Davis 0 - 1 Gearoid O'Shea
John Sheehy 0 - 1 Rick Brennan (colors mixed up)
Mark Webb 0 - 1 Rory Wales
Conor ? 1 - 0 Adam Smyth
Noel Mitchell - bye

Round 2

 White          -    Black   
Conor 0 - 1 Rory Wales
Claas Roever 1 - 0 Olivier Deme
Tom McAnally 0 - 1 Noel Mitchell
Gearoid O"Shea 0 - 1 Rick Brennan

The random draw continues to pair off the favourites.

Round 3

 White       -       Black
 Claas Roever   1 - 0  Rich Brennan
 Noel Mitchell  1 - 0  Rory Wales

Grand Final

I have noticed too late several other players who didn't have their country set in their user info. There have also been 5 or so others joining in the meantime. At a rough count the Total Irish Contingent on Dragon is about 30 now.


There is another tournament on Dragon right now DragonTourney2005 that might be of some help in setting rules
