Globis Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Globis Cup was an international Go competition for players under the age of 20. The tournament was held annually from 2014 to 2023, a total of 10 times. It was organized by the Nihon Ki-in and sponsored by Globis, a Japanese company.
The Globis Cup was an under-20 Go competition, with 16 players in total from China, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Europe, North America, and other Asian countries or Oceania. Players must be under 20 years old on January 1 of the year of the tournament (and may turn 20 by the time the event is actually held). Each player had 30 seconds per move, along with 10 one-minute periods of extra thinking time, which is like the NHK Cup.[1]
From the 1st to the 6th cup, the winner received 3,000,000 yen in prize money, the runner-up received 500,000 yen, and third place received 200,000 yen. Starting from the 7th cup, these prizes were 1,500,000 yen, 250,000 yen, and 100,000 yen, respectively.[1]
