I've noticed that for Arena Mode, Go games don't use komi, the points given to White to compensate for Black's advantage of going first. In pretty much any kind of Go competition since the 1930s there's been some kind of compensation given to White, to make the games even and competitive.
Is there a reason for BGA Go not to use komi in a competition? Or did it just happen and didn't get changed because no one asked?
I find it a bit bizarre, and would like the Arena rules to be changed next season to use 7.5 komi, as per the AGA Rules that the rest of the configuration uses. Since the admins suggest that the best way to get the change to happen is to make a poll about it, here it is.
Let's get the correct komi going, to make the competitions more well balanced
