Apr. 30th: New rules: League participants must play at least 3 games per month to be considered for advancement.
League games results not submitted to sente by e-mail or KGS messaging will not be counted.
Apr. 2nd: Increased the room size to 8 players (from 7). I also increased the # of points required to advance two rooms to 14 from 12, as well as the number of games required per month to 3 from 2 (or 1 every 1.5 weeks). The winners for the March League are:
Room A: Hotspur (4W and 0L, score 8) - will receive a free public lesson from breakfast (1p), generously donated by Cloudwall.
Room B: wossname (3W and 1L, score 6.5) - will receive a free KGS+ subscription.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all who participated.
Games begin today. Have fun!
Mar. 29th: Changed the rule for min. # of games per month. Now players must play at least 3 games per league month, or 1 game per 1.5 weeks. Less than this will be considered inactivity. This rule will take effect at the beginning of the next league.
Also, I'm officially ending the March League at the end of April 1st (24:00 EST), just because it makes sense to let people have the whole weekend to finish their games.
Mar. 15th: Updated the format for the Waiting and Inactive lists. More info, and cleaner. Also, I made a number of substitutions for the March ASR League.
Mar. 1st: The March League is now active! There have been a few rule changes, all of which can be found here. The results for the February League are here.
You can start playing games any time now. Good luck!
February 28
The February ASR League results are up here.
Congratulations to Druft for winning the February League!
Honorable mention: DrOlczyk, for playing all his games!
I have also made a number of changes to the ASR League page, includes some new rules, a (hopefully) clearer explanation of SODOS, and a re-written League manifesto.
Though it's a day early, I spent three hours preparing it so I want to get it out! The March League is now UP! You can reach it here.
February 20
Now the waiting room is also available for people who want to take a month off. When people return from absences, I'll try my best to put them back in their old rooms.
February 16
Fundamentally changed the purpose of the waiting list. It is now just a place to "store" inactive players, providing them a chance to re-enter the league should they return from inactivity. With the new league structure, no one should have to wait to join.
February 6
Made a bunch of changes to the way I seed new players in the League. Also added a bunch of new players. See the Feb. 2007 League page for details.
February 1
The February League is now UP! ASRLeague/Feb2007
Jan. 6th: I spoke to shygost, who has very generously agreed to give an occasional public demonstration in our room. I still have to work out the details with him, but it won't be anything regularly scheduled. Whenever he is available and willing, sort of thing
Also, I added two new pages: ASR Suggestions and ASR Event Schedule. The former is just to air and discuss ideas on how we can improve the ASR, the latter is available for anyone who wants to schedule a review session, demo, rengo or simul game, or anything you'd like.
Jan. 16th: I have been speaking to willzhang (9d) on KGS, about doing some kind of lesson for the winners of the monthly ASR League. He has very kindly agreed to offer some kind of teaching for the Advanced Study Room, and will get back to me soon with the specifics. I will keep you posted!
Jan. 21st: I corrected some errors in the records for the January league - thanks "anyone" for helping point these out. Also, I modified the rules concerning undos and adjournment in league games. They were unnecessarily harsh, so both are now permitted.
Jan. 29th: The January League has finished! Thanks to everyone for participating. I will be posting the winners in the next day or two. As well, I've switched the league format to a pyramid system. I think it will make things much more interesting. At this point I've already completed the new league roster, and I will put it up on February 1st.
Jan. 30th: The results for the January League are up! You can find them by following the January League link below. I will post the new roster for February tomorrow, so people can get started playing their February games as soon as possible. Thanks everyone, and good luck next month!
Jan. 31st: The February League is now up! Good luck.
