"
The tournament is set to be held in Shanghai this summer, between the days of July 7th and July 13th. More specifically, the students will be play at Jiaotong university, which is the same school that they will most likely be dorming at as well. (not confirmed)
The tournament is open to any individual who has, or will attend a College or University in the 2013 calendar year. This includes both undergraduate students, as well as students enrolled in graduate level programs.(also includes med school and law school type programs) There is no minimum rank required to participate in the tournament, as there will multiple divisions, ranging from beginner level players all the way to near pro players. There is however a rule barring professionals from competing, (though this is probably to the west's advantage) so any player that holds a professional certificate, is not eligible to compete.
All costs related to the event while in China will be covered by the Ing Foundation. This includes but may not be limited to, accommodations, food, and organizer sponsored tourist attraction visits. The participants will be responsible for their airfare and visa to and from China, and whatever personal costs they occur in China such as night life, and souvenirs.
