2015 Australian Digital Tournament

This was a first-class tournament of the Australian Go Association. If you are an Australian player, it affects your national rating, earns you international representative points, the whole ball of wax. If you are a New Zealand player, it's a fun chance to crush Australian go players in an international tournament. It was the first one from either country held on the internets, it was free, and it was not in real time. Rules are at the bottom of the page. Timetable was as follows:

Questions, complaints, concerns and of course tournament match results to Horatio.
