The ITGO League I is the first edition of the ITGO League. The tournament started on May 11, 2011 and is still ongoing.
The League was split into two groups: the First League, consisting of single-digit-kyu players, and the Second League, consisting of double-digit-kyu players. There were talks for a third league of dan players, but they were obviously too cool for us.
The league faced it's first controversy on opening day when Sir Peantoo, Lord of the Gays, whose period coincided with the opening day, decided to take himself out of the league. Having already played a match against lovely, removing Sir Peantoo, Lord of the Gays would be impossible. Instead, the rest of his games were counted as forfeits.
On May 19, oiseaux committed league seppuku. Having already played against yumi17, all of wazoo's games will be counted as forfeits.
