Where are the 8 other participants? I mean the linked OGF document on the organization talks about.
How can only 3 games qualify a pro?

Hi Max. All players 6-dan and stronger were invited directly (so all players with minimum rating 2551) - about 30 players were addressed according to the EGD-lists. The number of players is the result of the positive answers - only 9 players were interested and one player of them is a reserve-player.
