British Go Association rules

    Keywords: Rules

Current Rules (2008)

On 20 October 2007, the British Go Association [ext] decided to adopt the AGA Rules. This decision was unanimously approved at the 2008 Annual General Meeting, as reported via the BGA's gotalk mailing list.

Earlier Rules (pre-2008)

The default rules used at British Go Association events are Japanese Rules except that Triple Ko is a draw, not a no result. See [ext] http://www.britgo.org/rules/approved.html

RobertJasiek: Wasn't there more? What about no Both Players Lose rule?

LithiumTwo: There is a Both PLayers Lose rule, but as it is mutally exclusive to another rule, the BGA maintains the right to decide which one to rule in favour of.

Is this really a distinct ruleset? It sounds more like a Well we don't have enough time to let people replay their game and if they do it will mess up the draw practicality to me.
