What about LG cup? I saw that amateurs play there at the preliminary or what ever it is (I don't know how it works).

BC Card Cup, LG, and a few others all have big preliminary tournaments that amateurs have entered.

Re: Professional Go - A Framework
I find one of the most fascinating aspects to be the difference between Held Titles and Tournament Titles.
The Big 7 Japanese titles and most of their emulators are defended directly by the title-holder against the selected challenger.
Something like the Samsung Cup requires the previous year's winner to still play in the tournament. He or she could be eliminated in the first (non-preliminary) round and a new champion crowned who never sat across the board from last year's winner.
It's a vastly different system and style. In terms of style and culture you could also take a look at how time-limits are applied in the various matches.
