Baduk Residency Program (Live & study w/ Go Players in USA)

Announcing a residency program for Go players looking to dedicate themselves more fully to the game. The intention of the program is to allow players of any rank who are serious about mastering the game to live together and study the game.

Players will be not have to pay for food or housing, but are expected to contribute to 20 hours a week to various Go related projects.

[as a note, I am the person running the residency program. I'll do my best to answer any questions posted here]

"Snakes, fish, stuffed animals, and other extremely low maintenance animals which do not interfere in any way with the other participants would be possible."

The fact that the section on pets includes a note about stuffed animals is hilarious to me.

not something i can really take advantage of at this point in my life, but that's real cool

I'm actually from Cincinnati, Ohio originally (now in MA). What an amazing idea - if only this was in 2016 when I was jobless and traveling, I'd signup in a heartbeat :)

Very cool, Devin! Very cool.

If I had the means right now, that would be amazing.

This is my dream come true. Unfortunately I don't live in the US.

Sounds awesome! Are you funding it yourself?

What a great opportunity. If I was in US I'd love to hop on over.

Free board (is that a pun!) and lodgings. It's a great idea and great set up looking at the webpage. Much success to everyone who gets to help out.

I was about to make a joke about boarding being in ur mom's basement b/c Go isn't the most popular or well-known sport, and anyone who plays Go 24/7 prob lives in their mom's basement. Anyways, to avoid downvotes over a dumb joke, I just clicked the link to see whats up ...and lo and behold, there's a guy laying down and studying on a leather couch that's right next to a mop sink and mop in what looks to be a basement. I knew it! I gawdammn knew boarding was in your mom's basement! Best of luck, sounds fun!

Great idea! What a nice opportunity for Go enthusiasts. I hope its a success!

Super awesome that y'all are doing this! I live not too far away and would have applied if I didn't have a dog. If there are any day long workshops or something open to the public I'd love to drive out for it.
