MWA Shodan Promotion Competition

MWA Shodan Promotion Competition
马来西亚围棋协会初段晋升赛

Objective / 目的 :
In view of the current MWA high kyu player slowness in promotion, it is recognized that their strength could possibly be under-rated. The competition is designed to fast forward player rated between 5k to 1k and to be promoted to shodan. It will be organized once or twice yearly on a non-fixed period basis. This will more accurately represent the player’s current strength and to promote a fairer competition pairing in international event. Approximately 20% of the top players from this competition will be promoted to Shodan.

监于目前马来西亚围棋初级棋手晋升的速度缓慢,以至于目前的棋力有被低估的现象。本项比赛 以一年一次至两次不定期的方式让棋力介于5级至1级的棋手以快速的方式晋升至初段。这将有利于棋手们更准确的反映当前的实力和更公平的与国际棋友的交流。大约这项比赛的前二十趴(%)优胜棋手将晋升至初段。
