the iconography on that page is hard to understand.

What parts of the iconography is difficult to understand?
2
- Why does all of round 1,3,4 have B vs. W, but round 2 is mixed up?
- The light green font for winners is not very legible on white bkgd
- Why not have columns and center align with the VS. going straight down?
- A/B are groups but this is not stated until you scroll down
- Tags A-F are unclear and it's weird to have letters for both groups and player tags
- The colors and letters in the boxes aren't clear at first

You know I'm glad you brought these things to our attention, as volunteers we created an information page for people to follow so the NAGF would have something to use. Mind you it was made hastily so hopefully I can address your concerns.
- It probably was a slip of the mind or the colors were adjusted after the games.
- light green font is actually fine, its a grey scaled background not completely white. If you're colorblind I can only apologies and offer a future friendly version.
- I think this belongs with the 1. definitely something that can be fixed.
- for the content of who's playing A/B groups doesn't matter. It only matters when looking for a result. The rounds + game info is simple just that.
- The tags A-F is actually a size issue with the table, letters now show on both X and Y axis. It's been noted and fixed. Also the table was not made specifically for this tournament. I designed the table to have letters for players as numbers would specifically be used for wins/loses. It just happens that NAGF used letters for group names.
- Colors speak for themselves. Where online do you see green being used for anything other than correct/win. I cannot speak for the letters other than to say they're initials.

I'll try and post some stuff to BadukClub about the players tonight!

That would be great. Some players have a history on YouTube, or amazon, or... And some others don't seem to have an entry in the AGA database (maybe they're Canadian? Considering the mess, I can't be sure). The USGo article only mentions about half of them.
Take care

Based on his excellent performance in the Transatlantic pro league (beating several EGF pros) and the Globis Cup (beating a couple of low-dan young Asian pros) I'm expecting Kevin Yang to qualify.
