I assume it's still correct. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Casual attendance of the US Go Congress Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 17:21:18 -0400 From: Peter N. Nassar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Jason House <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Jason, Thank you very much for your email and for your interest in attending the 2007 US Go Congress. I apologize in the delay in responding to your email. We are still working out some of the details with regard to offering a single-day pass for the Congress, but we should have this up on the website within the next week or two. You mentioned in your email that other colleagues of yours online were also curious about shorter attendance times, esp. as a non-player. The information is below, and I'd appreciate it if you could pass this along to them. For your information, a "non-player" is defined as an observer, i.e., someone who is not competing in any official Congress Go tournaments. A "player" is someone who is competing in at least one (or all) Congress Go tournament. Here is what we will be posting on our FAQ within the next few days: ? Can I attend the Congress for just one day? Can I attend the Congress for just two days? How much will it cost? We offer a 1-day or multi-day playing fee, for both players (those who wish to compete in the US Open and/or other side tournaments) and non-players (those who only wish to observe). For non-players, the rate is $15.00 / day. You will receive an ID badge good for the day you register. This will allow you access to the Congress playing sites, should you wish to observe a game, and also to the vendor room, should you wish to purchase any Go books or equipment. The price does not include meals or lodging, nor does it allow access to lectures or game reviews by the professional players. For players, the rate is $65.00 for the first day, and $40.00 for all remaining days. You will receive an ID badge good for the day(s) you register, along with a Congress T-shirt and other promotional items. You will have access to the Congress playing site, the vendor room, and all lectures. The price does not include meals or lodging. ----------------------------- I hope that helps clear things up? If you have further questions, please let me know and I promise we will be quicker to reply.
