# Fujitsu Cup

The World Go Championship (世界囲碁選手権) Fujitsu Cup (富士通杯) is an international Go tournament held in 1988-2011. It was sponsored by Fujitsu and Yomiuri Shimbun.

The first year there were 16 players, and the last year there were 32. All other years there were 24 participants: the top 3 from last year, 7 players from Japan, 5 from China, 5 from South Korea, 1 from Taiwan, 1 from Europe, 1 from North America, and 1 from South America. In the 2nd-7th editions there were 4 participants from Korea, and 2 from Taiwan.

Participants are chosen via preliminaries in the various countries and continents. Of the 24 players, 8 get a bye in the first round. The format is a single knockout, under Japanese rules, with 5.5 komi (6.5 starting from the main tournament of the 16th edition). The time limit is 3h (but sometimes different for preliminaries and finals).

The Japanese Kisei, Meijin, and Honinbo are seeded.
