Entries for the South African internet championship, first quarter 2006,
are now open. The tournament will take place on Saturday the 18th of March
(just under 3 weeks from now) with format and schedule as below. There is
no entry fee, but players are responsible for their own internet
connections. The tournament is open to all members of SAGA. Development
players may apply to SAGA for sponsorship (contact Sakkie Buys). If you
have a computer with network card but no internet access, it is likely
that free access can be arranged via other players with ADSL. If you can
provide access for players who do not have their own computers, please let
us know.
To enter, please email me (konrad@cbio.uct.ac.za) before Wednesday 15th March with your name and current SAGA membership status. The draw will be done in advance, and will
