What is the total universe of eligible events? For example, all tournaments listed on Go News? Or is there some other list?

I'm using Mr Kin's go news. I'm not sure yet what if anything will be added. Personally I'm more interested in the results from slower-time matches, but I also feel that more games overall will make the fantasy league more interesting. hyperpape pointed out that adding some events could shift the value of certain players, especially since the points are based on a set list. I feel this is all still a kind of trial run, anyway.

I'll reiterate: if there's a particular event you want to see (or don't want to see), let me know!

My team:
China
Gu Li 49
Kong Jie 21
Chen Yaoye 23
Tuo Jiaxi 6

Korea
Lee Sedol 40
Won Sungjin 23
Cho Hanseung 14
Kim Kiyoung 7
Mok Jinseok 8
Lee Younggu 7

Japan
Iyama Yuta 44
Takao Shinji 26
Hane Naki 29

So the women's events are included, and say Rui in Korea or Xie in Japan only cost a dollar, right (typing feverishly into his excel sheet)?

Xie He is 16, why you counted him as 11?

Oh, thanks for the catch - I had him mixed up with Qiu Jun (was constantly editing and re-editing my picks).

金角银边草肚皮

This is great. I'm already excited about the semifinals of the Samsung cup (which don't count) and seeing my players advance to the finals (which do). Hear, hear for Won Sungjin (on my team) winning game one against Chen Yaoye (not)!

I thought about trying to include women's events, but they so rarely make it into open events that it would be essentially like running two seperate leagues. If I did add women's events I would probably have to assign point values to the women pros to prevent people like ez4u from gaming the system

misunderstanding detected?




only chosen tournaments count, see emeraldemon's first post in this thread

I might be wrong, but probably not.

Thank you Laman, I see now where we've gotten confused, I think. Only the events in the first post will count for the league (in the section "upcoming events and points"). I was talking about the possibility of adding more events to that list, but I guess it sounded like I was counting everything on Mr Kin's already.

I've updated the first post to clarify. Communication is fraught with peril.

Here are my picks: 299

Japan: 99


China: 100


Korea: 100

Ok, I finally got around to writing a script to check everyone's submissions. Araban, Barrauss, & jordus: you made some arithmetic errors I think. Here are the point expenditures I have for everyone so far:



I'd like to start with the Kuksu final game 3, this Tuesday. So anyone who's lingering, please submit a team! Hyperpape & ez4u, I hope I haven't scared you off...

Edited my original post. Should be 100 now.

Got it, thanks

I've just been slow. The Japanese go scene is the one I know the best, it felt easy to choose people, although I really wish I had an extra point somewhere.

By way of hyping a bit, here's some upcoming events to keep an eye on:

1) Kuksu finals: game 3 is tomorrow, marking the official start of the L19 fantasy go league! Choi Cheolhan and Cho Hanseung are 1-1 at the moment. It looks like we may be able to catch the game live at L19 TV.

2) Myeongin Semifinals: the Myeongin semifinals are best of three, and as of now Baek Hongsuk has one win vs. Lee Changho and Park Yeonghun has one win vs. Lee Taehyun 4d. I enjoy replaying Park Yeonghun's games, I hope he makes it all the way. Second game later this week.

3) At some point over the next few weeks, Iyama Yuta will play Takao Shinji for the chance to challenge Cho U for the title. Cho U has held it for two years in a row, where neither Iyama nor Takao have won the Kisei before.

4) Meijin League table is up: Congrats to Kono Rin, Kim Sujun, and Uchida Shuhei for making it through the prelims into the league. I haven't heard of Uchida Shuhei before, he's only 22, it'll be interesting to see how he performs. First round of the Meijin league starts early December.

Also on the horizon: the second round of the Nongshim Cup, Mingren finals, LG Cup quarterfinals, and Samsung final.

It's not too late to join, just post your picks in this thread!

Completing my picks:

Jiang Weijie - 28 (you'd think he'd be overpriced, on account of the sophomore slump, but I don't care).
Piao Wenyao - 25
Xie He - 16
Qiu Jun - 11
Zhou Ruiyang - 10
Gu Lingyi - 4
Ding Lie - 4
Wang Tao - 2

Choi Cheolhan - 35
Kim Jiseok - 28
Won Sungjin - 23
Cho Hanseung - 14

Iyama Yuta - 44
Cho U - 32
Sakai Hideyuki - 8
Yuki Satoshi - 7
Yoda Norimoto - 4
Kono Rin - 3
Murakawa Daisuke - 1
Ko Iso - 1

I spent all 100 points for Korea, so I have to drop Na Hyun. I'd love to find one more point for him somewhere, but I can't. Ditto for Uchida Shuhei, who I'm calling the best pick not on my list.

The China & Korea picks were based on extensive work with a spreadsheet going down the list and having names pop out at me, then finding people I could afford based on what's left.

Cho Hanseung now leads 2-1. Good news for Laman, Stevenson, and I. Well played by Araban and Hyperpape who backed both horses. Condolences to Marcus, the lone Choi Cheolhan backer not also backing Cho Hanseung.

Quite a lively game. The exchange at 64-65 is interesting.

Thanks for putting that up, prokofiev. Yes, hyperpape, Stevenson, prokofiev, and Laman all have two points. Araban & Barrauss, if you're out there, please fix your pics!

A question for those playing: would you like me to make a new post for each new result, or keep an updated list of scores in the first post, or both? I could even make a semi-automatic spreadsheet in google docs if people prefer.
