I will be there (I think)! Also because I live nearby... I'd be curious about how many people are coming from somewhere outside of BC. |

Although I can't go due to lack of airfare money ><, many of my friends from Toronto are going from Toronto, and I hear pretty much all the top 7d players will be there. The friends from Toronto I'm mentioning are almost all 5-6d in strength ^^ |

Lol, Although I don't get what that "8-Dan" Insolence is, haha. Canadian ratings don't even go to 8 Dan, and how can someone like Zchen be 6 Dan and someone about the same level be called 8 Dan? Jeez... I'm one stone, or maybe even half a stone too weak to play in the open division! >< Sad life~ |

Woah! Who are Hu and Ryan? I'm a yank, and therefore know a bit less about Canadian go, but I know who Yongfei and Jing Yang are, and they're quite impressive players to beat. |

^^ I'm in the 3rd picture, wearing blue, 6 and 7th wearing green, and in the tenth I should be sitting at the board in the middle where no one is playing, but my opponent hadn't shown up, so I'm watching games ^^ I managed 3rd place in 5d division, but Di (standing behind me in picture 3) got 1st, 5 wins! Some of his opponent were from open division (as were mine I guess). |

I'm a little late here, but that was a great tournament, many thanks to the organizers. There hasn't been a Go event that large in Vancouver since 2004 - now I may consider going to the Canadian Open next year even if it means buying a plane ticket! It was really fun. I still can't believe a 12 year old won the championship

Yes, I believe AGA members are allowed to play (that may not even be required, I'm not sure). There were a few Americans at this year's tournament. It was just announced that the next Canadian Open will be in Edmonton, Alberta: http://www.go-canada.org/news/news_2010-09-29.php#open |
