emeraldemon wrote: Is this tournament named after クチナシ = gardenias? Kind of. The legs of traditional gobans are modeled after the Kuchinashi flower. Apparently there is also a pun in the name Kuchinashi, something close to "closed mouth" to emphasize silence amongst observers during a game. Although obviously in this tournament kibitz is encouraged. Also. I'm going to repost the brackets in the OP for easy reference. As people finish games make sure to post in the thread also so we can keep a record of how the rounds are progressing. |

Just found out that "Simba" on KGS is not identical to "Simba" on L19.  I think it would help for participants and tournament director if KGS nicks were published here, or even better if the KGS nicks were notes in one's L19 profile.. |

Take care, Dave Yup, you're against otakuviking. Nik gets another chance in the losers bracket. The winner of the losers bracket faces the winner of the winners bracket in the grand finale. The winners bracket winner starts 1 game ahead and it'll be best of five (i think) |

You guys should post the games you've played here in this thread. It's always fun to be able to play back through and see how the games went. Should/could also get some discussions going. One of the things that was fun about following the last Kuchinashi, even if I wasn't playing in it!  Also - keep me in the loop with a 4-8k tournament. I'm (theoretically) in that range. (May need to play more on KGS and get a better established rank...) |

I'll have to work this and the next weekend, and I don't know about the weekends thereafter. I'll probably have no time to play, so I have to resign . I am sorry if I cause any inconvenience by that.

We've gotten off to a slow start but I just sent PMs to everyone with updates so hopefully the tournament will pick up momentum in the next week. Let's say the official start of round two is today, which allows 2 weeks for the series's to be played. |
