The 23rd Pandanet Cup, a long-standing internet world amateur go tournament, will continue to accept registration (free) until July 17. Players are divided into five bands, depending on their strengths. In the preliminary round of the tournament, players play self-paired games with others in the same band from anywhere in the world. For advancement onto the second stage, players’ scores are compared with only those in the same band and in the same geographic region: Asia and Oceania, Americas, or Europe and Africa. The scoring is based on the number of wins and the winning percentage. In the second stage, regional winners play others in the same band in a knock-out tournament until a band champion is produced. Generous prizes are provided to all winners.
Free registration is ongoing and ends on July 17. For details, click here.
