December Blitz KGS+ Tournament, American/European daytime 4k and weaker division (Winner: Hakudoshi)

19×19, blitz, single elimination! The rounds are spaced 30 minutes apart, all rounds the same day, the time settings are very short! The open divisions are even, the kyu ones are handicap divisions.

50 non-KGS Plus members per division will be allowed. KGS Plus members are always welcome.

IMPORTANT: you are allowed to attend only one division (out of the 4 ones) and are expected to use your strongest account on KGS. Moreover, in a fast tournament like this, you must be aware of the mouse anti-slip system! For your move to be accepted, you must hover for ¼ seconds before making your move. You only have 8 seconds per move on average, so knowing exactly when to click is very important!

Please respect your opponents, and don't ask a bye when there are less than 8 players around.
