Welcome to the 2nd Bosatsu League. To kick things off, two league spots are at stake, which (if necessary) will be fought over in qualification. In qualification, high seeds are paired with low seeds, with any byes going to the recently relegated player and to higher-ranked players. Let's have a look at the prospective league table:

  • 菩薩: winner of (dax00/violin470)
  • L1: loser of (dax00/violin470)
  • L2: winner of (evert823/KaijiAUT)
  • L3: open
  • L4: open
  • The loser of (evert823/KaijiAUT) will have top seed in qualification.

Qualification can start as soon as pairings are finalized. Time control for qualifier games is 1-day byōyomi, with 20 extensions of 1 day each.

League games will begin in late April, or whenever qualification concludes. Time control for league games is 1-day byōyomi, with 25 extensions of 1 day each. The winner of this Bosatsu League will have earned the right to challenge the reigning Bosatsu to a 3-game title match.

Registration for league qualifiers is now open. Please keep in mind that it may be a while until any games can be played. Registration will remain open until [7 days after 2 players have registered] or [2 days after the conclusion of the (evert823/KaijiAUT) game]. To register, comment "join" below.

Due to the extended nature of the title-deciding game (dax00 vs violin470) in the 1st Bosatsu League, there will be a couple compromises here.

Firstly, the game between evert823 and Pokshtya will begin April 22nd, as previously scheduled. Coin toss will determine who plays Sente. Sente = player A. Gote = player B.

On May 12th, player B will have Sente against their choice (player C) of either violin470 or dax00. Player A will have Gote against the unchosen player (player D).

On June 3rd, player B will have Sente against player D. Player A will have Gote against player C.

Games involving the loser of the title-deciding game count toward this 2nd Bosatsu League. Games involving the winner of that game will count independently. If the title-deciding game concludes before this league has been finalized, any games involving the titleholder may be nullified upon agreement of both players.

evert823 selected "tails". The result of the coin toss was "heads". Pokshtya will have Sente in round 1.

Sorry for not having kept up.

Pokshtya withdrew. Pokshtya's place was taken by GM_Vlad2, who forfeited.

No league games need to be played, so we can have the final.

@violin470 vs @evert823

To start in 7 days.
