New Tournament Format - Final Game Played by Team

Post by illluck »

It appears that a new tournament is being planned in China (from December 19 to 27th), where 16 teams (3 players each?) from all over the world (4 seed teams from China, Korea, Japan, and Taipei; 3 "star" teams from China, Korea, and Japan; 9 "non-seed" teams from Europe, North America, Africa, Australia, and Asia) are competing. The interesting format is that the final will be played in a consultant Go format, where each team will analyze the game and decide on their next move.

It should be pretty entertaining if the Japanese "star" team gets to the final as its members include Cho Chikun and Takemiya :)
