🏅 Performance Prizes


There will be no prize for a perfect 12 out of 12 score. Instead, we plan to award the best players within each MMS starting group, based on their initial pairing score (MMS from 4 down to 0).

This means:

🎯 One winner will be awarded in each MMS group:

  • MMS 3 group
  • MMS 2 group
  • MMS 1 group
  • MMS 0 group

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!
