Computer Go UEC Cup

The Computer Go UEC Cup is an annual world-wide computer Go tournament held at the University of Electro-Communications (UEC) in Tokyo, Japan[1] since 2007. The winners of the tournament could play exhibition games against a professional Go player.

The tournament is typically structured as a preliminary Swiss-system invitational to determine challengers (with the previous year's UEC winners excluded), then a knockout tournament of sixteen players to determine the champion.
