The Australian Go Association cannot hold a face to face National Championship this year. So the 6th Australian Digital Championship and the 43rd Australian Open will be a combined tournament.

The tournament is on the Internet in seven rounds, one per week. Results are due by midnight each Sunday by email.

Each competitor is to contact their opponent, sort out a time, play the game online, email the result and the game record to the tournament director. The tournament is an Australian Swiss draw in three divisions, open (2k to 7d), upper handicap (2d to 10k, up to nine stones), and lower handicap (10k to 30k, up to nine stones) using Australian (Japanese) rules.
