This year we had great success with the November Intermediate Tournament. 12 participants battled for top-rank, each of them participating in all of their games. After a win for both of the top players, The1Rogue took a quick and decisive victory in the Blitz tie-breaks. For the win, The1Rogue selected a pair of Geode capstones. In addition to this prize, a number of other prizes have been awarded – both to second place – and some of the participants for completing all of their matches.

Come join the September Beginner Tak Tournament! It starts on August 26th. This tournament is inclusive to almost all, with eligibility based on skill level rather than time played. And no, you don’t need to be a USTA member or live in the US to participate. Wondering if you’re a beginner? It’s not about the hours spent but your prowess on the board. If you can’t defeat IntuitionBot over 50% of the time, you qualify as a beginner. Don’t fret if you’ve never faced IntuitionBot—simply sign up for the tournament, and we’ll let you know if you’re too good to compete
Participation is free, and exciting prizes, including random drawing rewards, await contenders. First place will get first pick of either a Tak set or the Wolf and Hawk metal capstones. Participants who play all of their games will also be entered into a drawing to win a copy of Mastering Tak: Level 1 by Bill Leighton or a high-level game review by one of the game’s best players. 2 of each of these random drawing prizes will be awarded.
Whether you’re new to Tak or just haven’t quite reached the skill level you’d like, this tournament offers a chance to hone your skills, connect with the community, and enjoy spirited matches. We also want to make these games easy to play, so you work with your opponents over several weeks to get your games played when you two have the same availability. That way, no one needs to play 6 hours in a row at midnight or anything like that.

- 2024 June Beginner Tournament Wrap-up
After weeks of intense matches, the 2024 June Beginner Tournament is complete. In a particularly exciting set of matches, the top three finishers had multiple successive tie-breakers in the process of figuring out who would be crowned champion. The tournament was broken up into two stages: a preliminary group stages, where people in the same group fought for the most wins; and a playoff stage, where the winners of each group fought through the semifinals and finals in a single match-elimination style. Ultimately, OliveIsAWord emerged victorious. In a very close second, after a mishap in one of the blitz matches was GoldenGeneral_0. A big congratulations, and thanks to all those who participated.
