# Asian TV Cup

The Asian TV Cup is a knock out lightning go tournament. The seven participants are the winner and runner-up of each of the CCTV, NHK, and KBS tournaments from China, Japan, and Korea respectively, together with last year's winner (who is seeded into the semifinals). The time limits are 10 minutes and 30 seconds byo-yomi. The rules are those of the country being played in. In particular, komi is 6.5 in Japan and Korea, 7.5 in China (since 2002; until 2001 it was 5.5 everywhere).
