About SEYGO Tour
Saijo European Youth GO Tour is a long-term project started in 2019, which focuses on Go events for European youth. As of 2021, there will be two age groups: under 12 and under 18. The project starts from the premise that the European Go community is lacking go tournaments suitable for children. As a consequence, the game of Go is losing momentum in many European countries, because there are not enough new players to support the necessary Go infrastructure. Through a series of tournaments with a high-level organization, the project aims at rising both the number of beginners playing Go and the number of strong players competing for trophies and titles.
More detailed description of SEYGO Project is available on the official webpage of European Go Federation:
