interesting, after the first round of wrestling all three team has returned to the start line. Hope there will be more exciting games from now on.

What are the time settings?

Is this a win-and-keep-playing type tournament?

Thanks.

For others (like myself) who may be curious, this is from Sensei's Library:

The Nongshim Cup (Korean:농심배) or Nongshim Spicy Noodles Cup (Korean: 농심신라면배) is a team tournament with five participants from each participating country (China, Japan, and Korea). Each person who wins continues to play opponents from the other two teams (alternating between them) until there are no more opponents left. Time limits are 1 hour each with 1 period of 1 minute byoyomi.

It sounds like a really interesting format for a team tournament!

Kang Dongyun is black. Tuo Jiaxi is white.

Here is a chart that I made from data on mamumamu0413's ratings site. It shows the contestants ranked by their ratings and color coded by country. On the right side of the table we see the probability that the stronger player (read from the left over) will defeat the weaker player (read from the top down) in the various possible match ups between countries. This allows us to look a little into the match strategy.

Looking at the table and the match results, when Ichiriki and Byun Sangil (Pyeon Sang-il in my table. Sorry about the names. I do all this with lookups into the GoGoD name dictionary and I am way too lazy to fix it all up!) met in round 1 the ratings gave the edge to Byun 61% vs. 39%. However, Ichiriki scored the point so a red square for Japan. In round 2 China fielded its #3 rated player, Tuo Jiaxi, whose 9.9 rating gave him an 80%-20% advantage in a matchup with Ichiriki. Tuo won so a yellow square for China. In round 3 Korea came back with its own #3 rated player Kang. His 9.7 rating put him near Tuo's strength so there was only a 54%-46% rating-based advantage. In fact Kang won so blue square Korea. This was repeated in round 4 when Kang was an overwhelming favorite (86%-14%) over the 8.0-rated Ida. As the players lose, I have grayed-out the other (might have been) match ups in the table. As a result nearly half of the 75 theoretically possible match ups at the beginning of the match have either been played (4 colored squares) or have been eliminated through the loss of the different competitors (31 gray squares).

So who will China send in for round 5? Will they use Wang Xi, who would be a slight underdog (46%-54%) against Kang, or will they keep him in reserve for weaker opponents? If they choose one of the stronger players, which one will it be?

I'm glad to see that representatives from all three countries remain, but what a gauntlet Iyama will face when play resumes!

[Elom]

Poor Kim, if Iyama doesn't beat the next Chinese player, korea is in trouble !
