A few simple rules ... limitless possibilities
October 2012
This appendix lists the Go players who help run the London Open along with the tasks that they have recently been responsible for.
There is quite a large collection of documents needed for managing the London Open. Some are spreadsheet tools, like the prize estimator and lookup table for determining the seating in the round robin preliminaries. Others are printed and handed out to players like the Flyer and Certificate where deserved.
If games on board 1 are broadcast live on Pandanet after the tournament any games which were broadcast should be published by emailing .sgf records to the EGCC centre \webfont{office@go-centre.nl} and to Tony Atkins.
Laptops are set up in the Portland room on tables near to boards 1 and 2. ISH will provide Ethernet cables and a hub.
Toby Manning was our representative at the Korean Prime Minister's Cup this year. On day the first day he easily defeated the Korean "ghost", followed this with by a narrow loss (9.5 points) to Thailand and managed a close victory (1.5 points) against Denmark.
Richard Hunter was the winner of this year's Wessex Tournament. He beat Sandy Taylor in the last round to collect the trophy and one of the bottles of wine donated by Bob Hitchens. Also winning three and being similarly rewarded were Dylan Carter and young Oscar Selby.

5.1 Setup
Game Relay
In the past the London Open was a Pandanet Major and as such we were required to relay the top games on boards 1 (and 2 if possible) for every round.
Now we look at the preparation needed to ensure we achieve the tournament so enjoyed by players from the UK and abroad. We will here endeavour to identify what needs to be done by when and by whom. So in the end we identify tasks, roles, and the timeline.
Book the venue
The very first thing to be done when the tournament is over is to book the venue for the next year.
The following table provides a template for the yearly tournament schedule as seen by the players.
