SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

Why?  Because our aspiration is to not only discover new knowledge but also new principles.  Accomplishing this higher goal requires intellectual curiosity\, adventurousness\, and nimbleness (and a sense of humor!).  The lab is best known for its work on regulation of chromatin\, RNA-based regulation\, and host-fungal pathogen interactions (see our publications here).  Depending on the question\, the lab exploits different model systems\, including the opportunistic pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans\, which the lab has developed as both a model organism and a model pathogen\, as well as mice and haploid human cells.

SUMMARY:Presentation:FORMS: Etiquette and Piety in Safavid Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS) on Monday\, March 23rd\, in 1014 Tisch for a presentation from Glenn Ellis (Middle East Studies) titled \"Etiquette and Piety in Safavid Marriage\". This presentation will explore the etiquette of marriage as seen in a Safavid Shī’ī compendium of hadith\, Ḥilyat al-Mottaqīn or The Adornment of the Pious\, written by Moḥammad-Bāqir Majlisī\, a significant scholar. Published in 1671 in Persian\, Majlisī’s book was intended for an everyday audience and describes quotidian customs in great detail. One of the most striking hadith in the chapter on marriage notes prohibited and exhorted times of day for sexual intercourse\, and it further reveals medical ideas of generation and ways to ensure the morality of one’s offspring and thus society as a whole. This chapter is a useful case study on the expectations held of marriage\, and indicates the specificity of religious instruction for one who wanted to be an exemplary Muslim. By studying this text\, we can gain a richer picture of the expectations\, ideals\, and boundaries of Safavid marriage as well as ideals of reproduction.\n\nGlenn Ellis is a first year PhD student in Middle Eastern Studies. They graduated from Hampshire College in 2022 with a concentration in Medieval Middle Eastern History\, and their thesis focused on race and race-making in Persian mirrors for princes and epic poems. Interested in Persian literature very broadly\, they also Judeo-Persian\, Judeo-Arabic\, and Arabic\, and use these languages to better contextualize Persian poetry. Their interests include race and race-making\, romance and epic\, and comparative poetics. In their spare time they enjoy cooking\, baking without a recipe\, and fiber arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Statistical and Practical Study of Deploying Fair\, Safe\, and Productive AI
DESCRIPTION:This thesis presents a series of results that study the deployment of fair\, safe\, and productive AI. We begin in Chapter one by both motivating and introducing the three topics of study: algorithmic fairness in performative prediction\, weak-to-strong generalization\, and benchmarking AI adoption and capability across the economy. Additionally\, a brief synopsis of the results we will present in subsequent chapters is included.\n\nIn Chapter 2\, we study the problem of enforcing fairness under distribution shift caused by human behavior. This distribution shift is known as performativity and is often caused by the reactions of individuals with vested interests in the outcome of the predictive model. While performativity is generally problematic\, as it leads to changes in the data at test time\,  we develop algorithmic fairness practices that leverage performativity to achieve stronger group fairness guaranties in social classification problems (compared to what is achievable in non-performative settings). In particular\, we show that it is possible to enforce traditionally conflicting group fairness definitions if performativity is present. \n\nIn Chapter 3\, we study the problem of superalignment through the analogy of weak to strong generalization\; or using weaker (less capable) feedback to train a stronger (more capable) model. We prove that weak-to-strong generalization is possible by eliciting latent knowledge from pre-trained LLMs. In particular\, we cast the weak-to-strong generalization problem as a transfer learning problem in which we wish to transfer a latent concept from a weak model to a strong pre-trained model. We prove that a naive fine-tuning approach suffers from fundamental limitations\, but an alternative refinement-based approach suggested by the problem structure provably overcomes the limitations of fine-tuning. Finally\, we demonstrate the practical applicability of the refinement approach in multiple LLM alignment tasks.\n\nFinally\, in Chapter 4\, we work towards measuring both AI adoption and the capability of AI to perform discrete labor tasks across various occupations. To  measure adoption\, we develop an open-source economic index that uses publicly available user-LLM chat data and O*NET tasks to replicate studies produced by leading AI labs. To measure capabilities\, we build a system that generates benchmark scenarios grounded in O*NET occupations\, tasks\, and model-context-protocol (MCP) servers. We test Kimi-K2-Thinking with an OpenAI harness on scenarios across 13 occupations appearing frequently in our index\, finding that there is ample room for improvement across tool calling\, workflow completion\, and hallucination rates.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Curating Human Remains with Respect: A Collaborative Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Because many anthropological collections were established during the 19th and early 20th centuries\, attempts to trace their origins can become a research topic with its own history. Join the U-M Department of Anthropology and guests from the Hungarian National Museum for a collaborative presentation on how researchers from multiple countries can support each other’s work to identify the provenience of human remains collections with respect and expertise. These collaborators will explain how their research traced the origins of human remains in U-M Anthropology’s collection\, establishing connections to the work of Austrian anthropologist Felix von Luschan (1854–1924) and early-1900s Hungarian antiquities dealer József Lichtneckert.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Realizing a Polarized 3He++ Ion Source at Brookhaven National Lab with Metastability Exchange Optical Pumping
DESCRIPTION:A high intensity (2 x 10ˆ11 ions per pulse) polarized 3He++ ion source is being developed at BNL for use at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The helium gas will be polarized using a novel technique based on metastability-exchange optical pumping (MEOP) in the 5T field of the existing Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS)\, where it can be ionized and prepared for injection into the Booster. An infrared laser system has been developed for optical pumping and measuring the polarization of the gas inside of the EBIS field. Previous results in a test setup have shown up to 80% polarization for ultra-pure 3He in an “open” cell configuration\, with isolation valve and refilling tubes closed. Now\, the setup has been moved into an exact copy of the EBIS magnet to prepare for final integration and injection into the Booster. An absolute nuclear polarimeter and spin-rotator has been constructed to measure the 3He polarization near 6 MeV in the EBIS to Booster transit line. The ion source will be an essential component of future polarized neutron studies at the planned Electron Ion Collider (EIC). \n\nIn this seminar\, I will provide a brief introduction to the theory behind the MEOP process and a discussion of relevant technical challenges in implementing the source at BNL. The status of the project and plans for integration and polarization measurements inside of EBIS during the 2026 RHIC shutdown will be presented.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Algebraic theory of indefinite theta functions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Jacobi's theta function $\Theta(q) := 1 + 2q + 2q^4 + 2q^9 + \cdots $\, and more generally the theta functions associated to positive-definite quadratic forms\, have the property that they are modular forms of half-integral weight. The usual proof of this fact is completely analytic in nature\, using the Poisson summation formula. However\, $\Theta$ is also related to diffusion of heat on a uniform circle-shaped material: it is a restriction of the fundamental solution to the heat equation on a circle. By algebraically characterizing the heat equation as a specific flat connection on a certain bundle on a modular curve\, we produce a completely algebraic technique for proving modularity of theta functions. More specifically\, we produce a refinement of the algebraic theory of theta functions due to Moret-Bailly\, Faltings--Chai\, and Candelori. As a consequence of the algebraic nature of our theory and the fact that it applies to indefinite quadratic forms / non-ample line bundles (which the prior algebraic theory does not)\, we also generalize the Kudla--Millson analytic theory of theta functions for indefinite quadratic forms to the case of torsion coefficients. This is joint work in progress with Akshay Venkatesh.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sameroff Lecture | Celebrating and Leveraging Dr. Arnold Sameroff’s Legacy: From Transaction to Transformation: Integrating Developmental Theory\, Context\, and Preventive Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Renowned developmental scientist Dr. Velma McBride Murry will deliver this year’s distinguished lecture honoring the legacy of Arnold J. Sameroff. The keynote will highlight the enduring influence of Sameroff’s transactional model of development\, which transformed the field of developmental psychology by demonstrating that children and their environments shape one another through ongoing\, dynamic exchanges. Drawing from her landmark longitudinal research with African American families—including the Strong African American Families (SAAF) and Pathways for African Americans Success (PAAS) programs—McBride Murry will illustrate how culturally grounded\, community-partnered\, family-centered interventions bring transactional theory into practice. Her work shows that strengthening parenting\, racial socialization\, and family processes can reduce risk behaviors\, promote resilience\, and improve long-term developmental and health outcomes for youth during critical developmental periods. This lecture celebrates Sameroff’s theoretical vision while showcasing how Murry’s translational research carries that legacy forward—advancing equity\, prevention science\, and the next generation of developmental scholarship.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Taxing Corporate or Shareholder Income
DESCRIPTION:As corporate income tax rates have fallen across the world\, other capital taxes become more important. This paper studies the choice between income taxation at the corporate and shareholder level depending on capital market openness. I develop a model of capital markets and sufficient-statistics framework to determine optimal tax reforms. The main result is that when the incidence of the corporate income tax on workers is higher than that of shareholder income taxes\, lowering the former and reducing the latter is typically optimal. In a policy application\, I derive optimal reform directions for corporate and shareholder income taxes for a large and a small economy.

SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n
