Good explanation!
I think it’s time to proceed to round 2. I’ve decided to drop @fuseki3 and @Sadaharu from the list of participants, because they didn’t play their round 1 game yet. Please let me know if you wish to participate in future rounds, and I’ll add you to the tournament again.

Pairings Round 2
By the way I’ve decided to set the bar for the top group at 3 Kyu, so everybody ranked 3 Kyu and above starts with the same score.
@doh please contact me to arrange our game.
Are we still using the same board for this round?
Yes I thought so. I guess we could have also generated new random holes. Maybe we could do that for future rounds.
I was going to make a joke about how early you guys played the hole corners, but then @Feijoa opens with this…
It took me a while to realise that the group in the lower-left is dead
I have been pleasantly surprised by this variant. The classical things mostly work, but every now and then, L&D and joseki are totally flipped on their heads.
By the way @Sadaharu has expressed their interest to play, so I will add them to the pairings for rounds 3 and later. We will be an odd number, but I’m open to new players joining as well.
@Senffarbe will also play starting with Round 3 - Welcome!
How is it going @Tschej @Valens11 @Atorrante @DoubleU ?
I know from @Jon_Ko that @doh has unfortunately not answered for scheduling a game yet.
I would like to proceed to round 3 with the end of march if possible, but so far only 2 of 5 games have been played. Is it difficult to schedule a game together?
i wouldn’t mind to play, but don’t know how to start this aft go variants.
haven’t hear anything from my opponent, so maybe they don’t know either
I posted instructions here: Variant Tournament - #41 by martin3141
Yeah maybe. Please schedule a game together and use these instructions to start the game. Please let me know if there’s any problems, I’m glad to help.
I have contacted my opponent through the profile link you shared but havent received an answer yet.
Oh I believe valens may be their former account, and Valens11 the new. I just contacted them, so hopefully you’ll be able to get in touch with each other.
I guess I’m ready. Might need some help, though.
It seems like @Atorrante started a game here: https://www.govariants.com/game/67e2204377652c89ba6424e6
but did the two of you agree on a date and time?
