None that I've heard of so far.

I expect this'll be one of the places to look: http://ranka.intergofed.org/
Others will probably pop up.

Reading from Ranka online, it talked about anti-doping test. So it does apply now to Go?
Quote:
Then Lingkai Chen, the Executive Chief Referee, speaking faultless English himself, explained the pairing system, the awards, the tie breaking and time control rules, and the anti-doping tests, and the players drew the numbers used to arrange the pairings.


and talking about why pairing system is different from previous years, it's funny...

Quote:
This system was adopted because the Chinese already had the necessary software, and did not have time to develop and debug new software to implement the previous system.


maybe they should just let players go nigiri.

The anti-doping tests are discussed in Japanese here.

Short summary is that it's being treated as a sport in China and follows the same rules.

Cant find the pairings on the ranka site. Can someone help me out. Seems that the pairings are not there...no pairings, no results table. In addition, the official(?) site (http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/amakisen/wor ... esult.html) pointed to be Sensei's Library does not have any pairings or results as of noon GMT Wednesday.

Can this be correct ?
