From 2025 the European Professional Go System uses a new way of selecting the representing players for the intercontinental professional Go tournaments.

The seading in the brackets is based on the amount of so-called Nomination Points, which can be gathered by the players by achieving top places at several most prestigious Go tournaments in Europe.

The qualification tournament to select those two representing players will be held online, and is being organized by polgote.com - the platform, where you can quickly find Go teachers and book private lessons for the same day.
