To participate in the open section, which served as an Ing North American and a World Mind Sports Games qualifying tournament, players had to be 4 Dan or above, and the TD would only make a final decision about who would play in the open section at the time of pairing.

Time & Place:

Registration:

To register by mail, one could send a check, their name, rank (Dan/Kyu), telephone number, e-mail and AGA number if they had one, to Kevin Chao, PO BOX 1191, Lake Forest, CA 92609.
