European Go Congresses
The European Go Congress has been held every year since 1957. The table below
includes statistics showing the growth of the event since 1982. Totals shown where
known are for the European Championship (Main Event), the
Weekend Tournament and for overall partipation.
You will see that attendance varies from event to event depending on location,
ease of access, price and so on. Not every attendee plays all games of the Main
Event, and some only play the Weekend. Others rest at the Weekend and others
play all events. Whether more or less players take part at the weekend largely
depends on location and the number of local players.
For a list of winners see results.
Table omits ghosts and no-shows from the particpant numbers.
