Good and bad news from the
KOG organizers. After using and transporting their famous plywood
floor for several years all across the country it needs to be
renewed in 2014. If you ever looked into building your own backyard spot then you know that it can be quite an investment. To pay for that new floor the
entry fee has to be raised by about 10$ and they will have to cut down on the
pro prize money:
"regarding to the pro prize, we'll reduce large amount of total or probably not be able to provide prize money for Pro class this year."
We appreciate that the organizers are trying to maintain professional conditions and ask you to support the KOG even if there may be no prize money this year. The
first round of the 2013 series will take place on
May 18 and 19 in Nagoya and the registration period was extended until May 15.
