Life In 19x19

Hi!

I need to take 2 months off to move house and I need to concentrade on a different website for a while due to my job. I'll still be able to take care of the league no problem. I just won't be available to play or chat very much. I'll be declaring an official Bye for February so I don't lose my ...

Do people actively review their games together in the ASR these days?

Yes, but from the game records I've pulled it's around 30% of the time. It's one of the things about the league which I will be focusing on over the next few months. I'd like to see a review rate closer to 60% or 70%. That ...

News! News is good.


1. We have a new website: m

2. We will begin using the new site for calculating promotions and demotions after this month. The new site is being extensively tested and rules are being looked at to make the new site comport 100% with the old in terms of what games are pulled ...

Just as a note the teaching position has been filled for now.

I remember at a certain time there were many more players in the league. Do you know how many there were at it's peak? And when was that? I signed up again this last month but what with the low numbers and perhaps difficulties in time zones it was difficult or impossible to get a game when I wanted ...

Hello. My name is usagi and I'm a new helper admin here at the ASR. My first order of business was performing general maintenance on the websites and taking inventory of our assets which included manpower and resources. That's done now although we are still waiting on the domain name from Stalkor ...

Years and years and more years pass I'm still here and have the time and resources to play online again and put together a new Go website.

tsumego.ca

We'll see how this project turns out. One thing I have learned is that by helping others I learn, so, that's the point of tsumego.ca -- to provide a ...

You are right that participation is declining, and we are concerned about it. We haven't responded because no one among us feels particularly eager to get into a discussion with you about what should be done. This has partly to do with your personal history with the league, but also as you rightly ...

There were just 169 retained members from October's league, and there are currently 107 inactive players in the league as of Nov. 20th.

Is this a problem?

I realize that people sign up throughout the month and that there is still time for people to play their games, however we are in the final ...

yeah, but would that look much better?

Personally? Maybe. But you said so yourself, no?

I agree that it would look nicer if there were only whole and half points, but the reason it is the way it is atm has to do with how the website calculates the points, which is involves checking the result ...

I agree that it would look nicer if there were only whole and half points, but the reason it is the way it is atm has to do with how the website calculates the points, which is involves checking the result of a first game and reducing the point value for a second win by a percentage (25% atm ...

Sorry, it's unclear to me. Are you relaunching ASR with the blessings of the current admins, relaunching ASR without said blessing or doing something completely different (the tsumego packs etc vs just straight up games & reviews) and calling it ASR? Or does the name ASR have nothing to do with ...

What is the ASR School exactly, and how do you envision it functioning?

Well the idea behind reviews and teaching games was always that the dans lose out, there's no point for them to do it, which was the fundamental flaw of the KGS teaching ladder -- it wasn't a teaching ladder, it was a ...

Hi, I've just gone through the last couple months and tabulated how many games people have been playing on average and what % of them quit, and it looks like the league is going to hit a serious low point. We are down over 100 active signups from 6 months ago, and there are currently over 100 ...
