🏆 Prize Pool: Sponsored by Łukasz Lew – 700 EUR

🥇 Top Player Prizes

1st Place: 120 EUR

2nd Place: 80 EUR

3rd Place: 60 EUR

🏅 Performance Prizes

80 EUR award the best players within each MMS starting group (in all 5 groups), based on their initial pairing score (MMS from 4 down to 0).

This means:

🎯 One winner will be awarded in each MMS group:

• MMS 4 group - 80 EUR
• MMS 3 group - 80 EUR
• MMS 2 group - 80 EUR
• MMS 1 group - 80 EUR
• MMS 0 group - 80 EUR

This structure is comparable to awarding the top-ranked players by dan/kyu in a standard tournament. However, instead of predefined ranks, we will use the tournament pairing logic itself.

🆕 This is likely the first time such a system has been used in European Go history, and it required adjustments to Open Gotha to make it work. We're excited to try it out with you!

⚠️ To keep things fair and meaningful, a minimum of 11 games played will be required to be eligible for any prize.

Thank you for embracing this innovative format – and good luck in all 12 rounds!
