# Tournaments:



These six tournaments are aimed for total and slightly advanced beginners. You can register up to rank of 16 Kyu and participate. If you are totally new to OGS, you have to play 5 ranked games before you can register. Play them quick or take your time, that is up to you.



We hope to see many beginners take part in the tournament, and wish you good games!

Here’s also some basic live tournament F.A.Q. when you are new to OGS:

1) How do I notice the tournament started?

Check the upper right corner. You will notice a small blue square with a number, indicating the start of the tournament.

2) What do I do when I finished a game?

Check the upper right corner. You will notice a small black square that will indicate your turn, once your next game starts!

3) The game ended, and I haven’t even noticed it started?!

If your opponent plays first, you will not notice the new game

starting until he did his first move. If he times out without doing a

single move, you will get noticed that you won the game.

4) When will the Tournament start?

That’s easy to find out! Just check out the links provided lower in this forum announcement.
