I just noticed that this was an intentional change from today. However, a large number of pair go players are non-AGA members and the current sign-up process for it relies on the validation of IGS usernames and the "username_igs" field in the attendees csv export. Thanks!
This was based on a misunderstanding on my part. For in-person Congresses, AGA Membership is a requirement for participation in tournaments. I actually didn't realize it wasn't for the online Congress, though that certainly makes sense. I've fixed this change and also updated the message on the initial screen of adding an attendee so that it doesn't claim membership is required. Thanks for bringing this to my attention right away, and I apologize for introducing such a major interruption to registration.
AGA membership is expected of US players, but not of players from other countries. This is the same as it is for in- person Congresses.
We'll follow up with Emil today, who should be keeping an eye on this.
Best, Lisa

Thanks for the clarification on that, Lisa -- we haven't been clear about that at all on the website, even with previous Congresses, so it'll be good to clarify the messaging on that. I've updated the add attendee page to reflect the requirement for AGA membership for members of the US. At the moment, the website doesn't do any enforcement of membership in order to register for tournaments -- we'll need to rework the flow of the registration so that we can allow / disallow tournament signups after getting the country from the attendee.
Thanks for the quick fix!
