May Iron Man Tournament, 30k to 4k division (Winner: golife)

Welcome to the third KGS Iron Man tournament! It is called in Iron Man tournament because endurance is key to doing well in this tournament. There will be 20 rounds spread over 5 days, with a new round starting every six hours. You can skip up to 15 rounds, so even if you can only play one round per day, you can still participate in this tournament! But of course, playing in more rounds than the minimum of 5 will give you a better final position - as long as you manage to win the extra rounds that you play in!

As usual, a limited number (50 per division) of non-KGS Plus members are allowed. Make sure to tell your friends about this so they can register in time!
