Dear fellow Go players,

You have Belgian nationality,
You are member of the BGF
You are ready to play maximum one Tuesday evening (online) each month (more likely one game every 2 or 3 months) with players from all over Europe,
Then, please read further:

The European Team Championship, also known as the Pandanet League, is expected to restart in October.
We need minimum 6-8 Go players to build a Belgian team.
For each match, the team captain will constitute a team of 4 players who are free and eager to play, among the ones players selected at the beginning of the season.
Usually dan players are preferred but many times in the past, our kyu players were able to score victories against dan players and were the heros of the team!
Thus, don’t be shy and ask for being a team member whatever your level is !

If you are interested, please send an email to info at gofed.be before Friday 28th of September (deadline for registration of the Belgian team is 01/10 !).
