Go Tourney Makes Keith Sad...

So, we had our end of semester go tournament today. Unfortunately, the turnout was less than optimal. We had 5 guys from the usual Cleveland club, and 2 from Columbus. Yep. That's right, a whopping 7 people. Looking back, we really messed up with not starting sooner. With everything going on with the semester, I had lost track of time and thought the tournament was further off than it really was.

I think I know how to fix it, though. I just made up a preliminary calendar of stuff to follow, with dates for almost everything. From simple things like making the advertising flyers to setting dates on which to start flyering. I need to add a couple things, and refine it, but I think this should help a lot.

On my list of things to do, though, is to update that website. I think if the site were better, we'd be able to attract more people on campus. I know it sounds stupid, but if we look more professional and organized, they'll be more likely to take us seriously. So, here's hoping. I should be able to do good things with that this summer. Another idea is to hold a workshop to teach people go. I figure if we can take over Thwing for a day and teach everyone who wants to learn, we'd be in good shape. Like what they do at Origins, but with the aim of boosting numbers for the club. Angel and Dwayne both had good ideas that I think could be easily combined. Angel said to have more than one workshop, and Dwayne said to have lectures at the workshops. So, if we had a beginners workshop, and a workshop for kyu level players, that might also help increase our presence. I'm worried about asking too much time from people, though. Who knows. We'll see what happens. I think one this fall is sufficient. If its good, we might do 2 in the spring.
